Re: gsl_ran_sample_matrix()

This is something I would like to tinker with, but do you mean a
generic API for full bootstrapping, i.e. bootstrap estimators for
whatever, or just for the resampling part. 

I can absolutely see that the resampling can be made more general than
my gsl_ran_sample_matrix() function, but as for what people want to
actually estimate using bootstrap estimators this is such an open
question, that I have problems seeing how a general API can be written
for it.

Anyway, if you, or anyone else have a bit more concrete ideas of what
you have in mind I would like to give it a try (but don't hold your
breath :)).

Best Regards

Joakim
