//! UltraLogLog: State-of-the-art cardinality estimation (VLDB 2024)
//!
//! UltraLogLog is 28% more space-efficient than HyperLogLog with the same accuracy.
//! It uses an improved estimator formula and better bias correction for small cardinalities.
//!
//! # Algorithm Overview
//!
//! UltraLogLog works by:
//! 1. Hashing each input item to get a uniform random value
//! 2. Using the first p bits to select one of 2^p registers
//! 3. Counting leading zeros in the remaining bits and storing the maximum in each register
//! 4. Estimating cardinality using harmonic mean of register values with bias correction
//!
//! # References
//!
//! "UltraLogLog: A Practical and More Space-Efficient Alternative to HyperLogLog"
//! VLDB 2024
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use sketch_oxide::cardinality::UltraLogLog;
//! use sketch_oxide::Sketch;
//!
//! let mut ull = UltraLogLog::new(12).unwrap();
//!
//! // Add items
//! for i in 0..10_000 {
//!     ull.update(&i);
//! }
//!
//! // Estimate cardinality
//! let estimate = ull.estimate();
//! println!("Estimated cardinality: {}", estimate);
//! // Should be close to 10,000 with ~1.04/sqrt(4096) = ~1.6% error
//! ```
