in reply to Bootstrapping Implementation #2

What have you tried? How do you think you could solve the problem?
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    Well, I've currently submitted all of the data for bootstrapping as shown in the above code. I'm not sure how I'd choose the upper and lower 30% of data from the bootstrapped set.

      Talk through it. Describe how you would do it on paper. Define it for me. If you can't tell me how to do it, then you definitely cannot tell a computer.

        seems like after the bootstrapped jobs are submitted i would implement one method that selects the +30% while retaining the integrity of the original dataset. i would do the same for the -30%. i suppose my question would be, can i implement that in the script itself or do i need to write a new script?
