This is Ruby/Numo::NArray version of 100 numpy exercises (Repository)

# 100 numpy exercises

This is a collection of exercises that have been collected in the numpy mailing
list, on stack overflow and in the numpy documentation. I've also created some
to reach the 100 limit. The goal of this collection is to offer a quick
reference for both old and new users but also to provide a set of exercices for
those who teach.

If you find an error or think you've a better way to solve some of them, feel
free to open an issue at <https://github.com/rougier/numpy-100>

100. Compute bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals for the mean of a 1D array X (i.e., resample the elements of an array with replacement N times, compute the mean of each sample, and then compute percentiles over the means). (★★★)

Python:

# Author: Jessica B. Hamrick

X = np.random.randn(100) # random 1D array
N = 1000 # number of bootstrap samples
idx = np.random.randint(0, X.size, (N, X.size))
means = X[idx].mean(1)
confint = np.percentile(means, [2.5, 97.5])
print(confint)

Ruby:

x = Numo::DFloat.new(100).rand_norm
n = 1000 # number of bootstrap samples
idx = Numo::Int32.new(n, x.size).rand(x.size)
means = x[idx].mean(1)
confint = means[means.sort_index[means.size/100.0*Numo::DFloat[2.5, 97.5]]]
p confint
# todo: percentile
