# pandas.plotting.bootstrap_plot

pandas.plotting.bootstrap_plot(series, fig=None, size=50, samples=500, **kwds)

  Bootstrap plot on mean, median and mid-range statistics.

  The bootstrap plot is used to estimate the uncertainty of a statistic by relying on random sampling with replacement [1]. This function will generate bootstrapping plots for mean, median and mid-range statistics for the given number of samples of the given size.

  “Bootstrapping (statistics)” in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_%28statistics%29

  Parameters:
    seriespandas.Series

      Series from where to get the samplings for the bootstrapping.

    figmatplotlib.figure.Figure, default None

      If given, it will use the fig reference for plotting instead of creating a new one with default parameters.

    sizeint, default 50

      Number of data points to consider during each sampling. It must be less than or equal to the length of the series.

    samplesint, default 500

      Number of times the bootstrap procedure is performed.

    **kwds

      Options to pass to matplotlib plotting method.

  Returns:
    matplotlib.figure.Figure

      Matplotlib figure.

  Examples

  This example draws a basic bootstrap plot for a Series.

      >>> s = pd.Series(np.random.uniform(size=100))
      >>> pd.plotting.bootstrap_plot(s)
