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.
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?

    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?

      You still haven't explained what +30% means. You haven't described how you'd get it. You haven't described what the various steps are. In other words, as far as I can tell, you're still waving your hands. Until you can describe the problem well enough that you could teach someone who doesn't know what's going on how to do it, any program you write will be poorly written.
