.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This subclass of Math::Random::OO generates random numbers with bootstrap
resampling (i.e. resampling with replacement) from a given set of observations.
Each item in the sample array is drawn with equal probability.

\&\f(CW\*(C`new\*(C'\fR takes either a list or a reference to an array containing a
set of observations and returns a new \f(CW\*(C`Math::Random::OO::Bootstrap\*(C'\fR object.
If a reference is provided, the object will make an internal copy
of the array to avoid unexpected results if the source reference
is modified.
.PP
If the desired sample is an array of array references, the list
must be enclosed in an anonymous array reference to avoid ambiguity.

This method seeds the random number generator.  At the moment, only the
first seed value matters.  It should be a positive integer.

.PP
This method returns the next random number from the random number generator
by resampling with replacement from the provided data. It does not take any
parameters.
