Bootstrap sampling

[Rasheed]

I wrote a program for bootstrap sample generation

It works fine but It has one issue

when I run that SAS program twice then newer bootstrap samples are merged with previously generated bootstrap samples in SAS output

E.g, First I generated 100 bootstrap sample and calculated 95 percentile from it

But when I again run that program then SAS out put show 200 bootstrap samples therefore 95 percentile is misleading in this case

Please help me how to resolve this issue

I doubt anyone will have any valuable input without being able to look at your code.

It sounds like somewhere you are appending data to a dataset. The first step would be either to deleted the existing dataset or direct your output to a new dataset.

Other than that, details are needed to provide more specific help.

If you have code look for some place with Proc Append, Proc Datasets with append, a data step with 2 or more datasets on a Set statement or Proc SQL with a Union join.

Add a parameter to your program to ensure that it creates a uniquely named data set for each iteration/call.
