Look in the Davison & Hinkley book and its associated S-PLUS library
`boot' (e.g. on statlib)

@Book{Davison.Hinkley.97,
  author       = "A. C. Davison and D. V. Hinkley",
  title        = "Bootstrap Methods and Their Application",
  publisher    = "Cambridge University Press",
  address      = "Cambridge",
  year         = "1997",
}
