Use the function cauchy.mle from the Package MLEcauchy we can get two estimates: mu and gamma We want to find the (1) 90 % confidence interval of mu/gamma using Jackknife (2) same as above but using bootstrap percentile method. (3) discuss (at least one but may be two) other possible ways of getting 90% confidence intervals of mu/gamma, including any other additional assumptions etc.
