You can use this to set options for calculating bootstrap or jackknife estimates and confidence intervals for measures of diversity.
Calculate estimate and confidence interval
Controls whether to calculate an estimate of the diversity measures using a bootstrap or jackknife method.
Method
Controls whether the estimate and confidence interval are calculated using the bootstrap or jackknife method.
Confidence limit (%)
Specifies the confidence limit as a percentage.
Number of samples of bootstrap
Specifies the number of samples used in the bootstrap.
Seed
Specifies the seed to use in the random number generator used to construct the bootstrap samples. The default value of zero continues an existing sequence of random numbers or, if the generator has not yet been used in this run of Genstat, it initializes the generator automatically.
