Then we compute the mean of this resample and obtain the first bootstrap mean: Î¼ 1 *. We repeat this process to obtain the second resample X 2 * and compute the second bootstrap mean Î¼ 2 *. If we repeat this 100 times, then we have Î¼ 1 *, Î¼ 2 *, â¦, Î¼ 100 *. This represents an empirical bootstrap distribution of sample mean. From this empirical distribution, one can derive a bootstrap confidence interval for the purpose of hypothesis testing.
