Reporting Software Bugs

To report a bug in the Resampling Stats software, please write to:
kaplan@macalester.edu with subject line: Resampling Bug Report
Before writing, try to trace the problem to a specific Resampling Stats function, and have specific input arguments that produce the problem. In your letter, give the name of the Resampling Stats function involved, and provide MATLAB statements to construct the input arguments. Explain why you believe the outputs are incorrect. Also give the version number of the software, which is given by the help command for that function. For example:

Bug report about resamp.m version 1.01

The statement 
resamp([1 2 3 4 5])
should return a vector of 5 numbers.  
Instead it returns NaN.

In general, we will not be able to help you debug your own programs. All we can do is try to make sure that the Resampling Stats functions behave in the manner that is documented.

Name conflicts

The Resampling Stats functions may have the same name as another function on your MATLAB path. You can use the MATLAB which command to check whether the function MATLAB is calling is the same as that in the Resampling Stats distribution; the result of which function_name should include the directory where the Resampling Stats software was installed.

If you find a name conflict with a MATLAB/Mathworks toolbox, please write to us to inform us of the conflict. However, if the name conflict is with one of your own, home-grown functions you should resolve the problem by altering your search path.
