Construct a histogram of the bootstrap distribution of univariate statistic.

## S3 method for class 'simpleboot'
hist(x, do.rug = FALSE, xlab = "Bootstrap samples", main = "", ...)

Arguments

• x: An object of class "simpleboot" returned from either one.boot, two.boot, or pairs.boot.
• do.rug: Should a rug of the bootstrap distribution be plotted under the histogram?
• xlab: The label for the x-axis.
• main: The title for the histogram.
• ...: Other arguments passed to hist.
