Introduction

Bootstrapping is a resampling method that enables the estimation of the sampling distribution of a statistic by drawing repeated samples with replacement from the observed data. In simple terms, imagine you have a jar filled with cookies. Instead of baking a new jar of cookies to see how the average size might vary, you repeatedly pick a handful of cookies from the same jar (with replacement), calculate the average size for each handful, and then study how these averages vary. This variation gives you an insight into the reliability and variability of your original measurement.
