Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Student's T-Distribution implementation and its sample-size calculations, then determine what bootstrap method and confidence measure are intended. Done should mean a defined bootstrap-based calculation, documented behavior, and coverage for representative samples.
