The Method panel of the Bootstrap tool specifies a bootstrap method and analysis type. It has the following controls:
Bootstrap Method — Selects whether to use the one-simulation or multiple-simulation bootstrap method. For more information on these two methods, see Estimating Data Accuracy with the Bootstrap Tool. The default is the one-simulation method.
Analyze Distributions Of — Selects whether to analyze distributions of statistics, percentiles, or capability metrics. If you select Percentiles, you must complete the Percentiles options. The default is Statistics.
Percentiles — If Percentiles is selected in Analyze Distributions Of, selects which target percentiles to analyze. You can select either: deciles (the 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 percentiles); 2, 5, 50, 90, and 97.5 percentiles; or a custom list of percentiles you enter in the text box (between 0 and 100, inclusive) separated by commas.
Back — Displays the Target Forecast panel for specifying a target forecast.
Next — Opens the Options panel for defining sample and display options.
Run — Runs the Bootstrap tool and generates results.
