Re: [math] speeding up percentile based statistics

2010-09-17 Thread Ted Dunning
I just meant that with the nearly correct estimates from the first pass you could do a more accurate job in the second pass, possibly by partitions, possibly by just applying the incremental algorithm a second time. Because it would have good density estimates from the first pass, it would presuma

No. I think I missed you point. My comment about code complexity still applies somewhat. Storing the state of the sort and testing the corner cases can be difficult. On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 12:19 PM, Luc Maisonobe wrote: > > Moreover, since sort is n log n without a radix sort, then the > > in

There are also on-line percentile estimation methods that require only a single pass over the data in order to get good estimates of several quantile at the same time. If you are interested in getting an estimate of some quantile of the underlying distribution that generated your data then these o

Hi all, During a recent face to face discussion with some commons-math users from a large project, it appeared one implementation choice for Percentile statistics was a huge performance bottleneck. When the Percentile.evaluate method is called, the sample array is copied and sorted. In one use ca

Thanks both guys, I'll try to push the RC2 tomorrow!!! @Sebastian: thanks for the clarification, I'm located indeed in Italy. Have a nice day and thanks again for your help and explanations, very appreciated :) Simo http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://www.99soft.org/ On Fri, Sep 1

I've had trouble using release:prepare before. I've had to do svn update and then re-run it. See if that helps. Somehow the svn version gets out of whack (or at least it thinks it is). On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 11:24 AM, sebb wrote: > On 17 September 2010 08:58, Simone Tripodi wrote: >> Hi guys

Thanks for the perspective Hen. It sounds like good advice. I do think there would be a benefit to hitting control-f (ie. autoformat) once for the whole project; its pretty messy now. I'm completely agnostic to which code style we use. Perhaps Eclipse's autoformatter's default setting wou
