Details

This function is designed to assist in computing bootstrap standard errors when working with longitudinal data. Given longitudinal data with multiple rows per subject, it will sample subjects, with replacement, n times, where n is the number of subjects in the original dataset. In the bootstrapped dataset, each resample has its own id.
