I perfectly agree with Nick. What Mahmoud attempts to do appears
highly problematic, and I personally wouldn't trust any of the
inference. It also appears that he doesn't understand the -bootstrap-
command very well, which I hope to have addressed in my previous
email.

If Mahmoud wants to follow the example he found in a paper, he should
make sure that he perfectly understands what the authors have done. It
seems odd that they applied the standard bootstrap to time series
data, and not some form of a block bootstrap, for a start.
