Method for sampling from an `mle_boot` object.

It creates a sampler for the `mle_boot` object. It returns a function that accepts a single parameter `n` denoting the number of samples to draw from the `mle_boot` object.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'mle_boot'
sampler(x, ...)

Arguments

x

the `mle_boot` object to create sampler for

...

additional arguments to pass (not used)

Value

A function that takes parameter n and returns n samples drawn from the bootstrap replicates.

Details

Unlike the `sampler` method for the more general `mle` objects, for `mle_boot` objects, we sample from the bootstrap replicates, which are more representative of the sampling distribution, particularly for small samples.
