Title: Matrixboot: A Fortran Program to Bootstrap Pearson Correlations Computed from Data Matrix Input
Abstract: Researchers have demonstrated that the bootstrap method of nonparametric inference is an acceptable alternative for conducting significance tests for correlations when the usual parametric procedures are not warranted. MATRIXBOOT is a FORTRAN program which computes and bootstraps correlations using two square-data matrices as input. The program constructs a distribution of 1000 correlations and computes summary statistics on the distribution. Summary statistics include the mean, standard deviation, and median. The program also computes and reports both 95% and 99% confidence intervals using an algorithm developed by Strube in 1988. The method is less subject to Type I error than are previous methods.
