ok. Wanted to understand advantage of having a container class for all storeless stats (just as DescriptiveStats is for Univariate). I could open another email thread. Also wanted to understand whats a abstract interface problem that you were refering thanks murthy On Tue, Oct 14, 2014 at 9:47 A

Adding a bit more on this: a) The DescriptiveStatisticalSummary actually handles the rest of the functions such as addValue, getPercentile etc. b) I have added addValue() as it is important to see either storeless or store variants as interfaces. c) A case in point being (for b); i was actually try

Hi Phil, Though i did not add to StatisticalSummary i was actually working on a DescriptiveStatisticalSummary for all the Storeless variants inclusive of PSquarePercentile. Would it help if you can actually implement SummaryStatisitcs with an extended interface such as DescriptiveStatisticalSummar

2014-10-10 Thread Phil Steitz
Now that we have a "storeless" percentile estimator, we can add quartile computation to SummaryStatistics. Any objections to my adding this? I could optionally add a boolean constructor argument to avoid the overhead of maintaining these stats. Or more generally, add a bitfield encoding the exac
