Returns a bootstrap sample of the given statistic on the given data.
Arguments:
data -- vector of data to resample from
statistic -- a function that returns a value given a vector of data
Options:
:size -- the number of bootstrap samples to return
:smooth -- (default false) smoothing option
:smooth-sd -- (default (/ (sqrt (count data)))) determines the standard
deviation of the noise to use for smoothing
:replacement -- (default true) determines if sampling of the data
should be done with replacement
