Resample variances

["Jim Daley" <jgdaley@gw.dec.state.ny.us>]

Hello,

 

Simple question, I think.  After running bootstrap, the boot object contains the standard error.  If I wanted the variance associated with the parameter that I bootstrapped, could I just square the SE that the bootstrap calculates?  Would that variance be analogous to the variance calculated by using a standard variance formula?

 

Thanks,
