Which problems have you encountered when you tried to implement it in Mathcad?

Attach your sheet to get help with your approach.

I have used this process in Excel, as well as the Bootstrap in Excel and Mathcad. At the present I am stumped as to how to accomplish the Jackknife in Mathcad an thus have not provided a Mathcad sheet. I am currently analyzing data found in Bury's text examples using both Log-Normal and Gumbel distributions. Ultimately, I would use this method or the Bootstrap in the analysis of snow loads. I would like to find the standard error of the 50 yr, 100 yr mean recurrence interval.

I suggest you post what you have attempted thus far to give collabs on here something to work with.

I think you need to revisit the basics of your program. You are using submatrx and trying to pass a range to the lower indices to be extracted for a single column vector, obviously this is not going to work.
