A "variance replicate estimate" tool #2

Open palewire opened 5 years ago

To calculate more exact margin of errors for aggregated values where possible.

Proof of concept here for sums, means, and medians.

This assumes we have the dataset that contains the variance replicates. Grabbing these more automatically might require a different tool.

This has a pandas dependency. Is there another data structure that would be better?

Proof of concept updated into function form with documentation.
