I don't think you can bootstrap with whole matrices.
Or at least you can't -bootstrap- with whole matrices.
That is a Stata problem, even if it may be
complaining about something different.
But I guess there is a conceptual problem in any
case, unless you can point to a literature in which this makes
sense as a species of bootstrapping problem.
