Errors and the Bootstrap Method

So, I had to fiddle a little with the normal code again because it started acting up, changing ES parameters I think, and checked to make sure it worked on some other clusters.

Then I wrote a procedure to apply the boostrap method to the Cross Entropy. Shown is the histogram for the age. Interesting how some become just completely wrong. So I fitted for the parameters 50 times, each time having scrambled the residuals.

All this didn't actually turn out as efficiently time wise as I would have hoped, but it works.
