Useful code

• Code for sampling methods. Some of our analysis will be looking at point comparisons along a continuous distribution. In these cases, we might not be able to use tradition comparison methods. These files use sampling methods, and 'bootstrapping' in particular to solve this problem. Many of our statistics assume a normal distribution, but resampling methods allow you to estimate the true mean and standard deviation (and other parameters) by using a smaller subsection (sample) of your data. It makes no assumption about the shape of the underlying distribution. The original source code was provided by Dr. Amelia Hunt, University of Aberdeen (UK).
