Struct Percentiles 

pub struct Percentiles<T: Float + FromPrimitive> { /* private fields */ }

Data percentile struct

This struct stores data to allow efficient computation of percentiles. This struct takes linear space. It implements FromIterator to allow collection. This collection ignores NaNs.

The structure is designed for efficient computation of percentiles when data is added and then percentiles are computed. Adding data is constant time, querying percentiles is linear time, with some caching to make it faster for computing several percentiles. If you were going to query percentiles while adding data, then you probably want to use a different data structure.

Examples

let mut percs = inc_stats::Percentiles::new();
for &num in &[2.0, 4.0, 8.0] {
    percs.add(num);
}
assert_eq!(3, percs.count());

let percs: inc_stats::Percentiles<f64> = [2.0, 4.0, 8.0].iter().collect();
assert_eq!(3, percs.count());

Implementations

impl<T: Float + FromPrimitive> Percentiles<T>

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new Percentiles object with no data

pub fn add(&mut self, rval: impl DerefCopy<Output = T>)

Add a data point

pub fn count(&self) -> usize

Get the number of data points

pub fn percentiles<P, I>( &self, percentiles: I, ) -> Result<Option<Vec<T>>, StatsError>

where P: DerefCopy<Output = f64>, I: IntoIterator<Item = P>,

Get a number of percentiles

This takes linear time in the number of added data points, and log linear in the number of percentiles. This will be marginally more efficient than calling percentile repeatedly in a bad order.

Examples:

let percs: inc_stats::Percentiles<f64> = [1.0, 3.0, 7.0].iter().collect();
let quarts = percs.percentiles(&[0.75, 0.25, 0.5]).unwrap().unwrap();
assert!((5.0 - quarts[0]).abs() < 1.0e-6);
assert!((2.0 - quarts[1]).abs() < 1.0e-6);
assert!((3.0 - quarts[2]).abs() < 1.0e-6);

pub fn percentile( &self, percentile: impl DerefCopy<Output = f64>, ) -> Result<Option<T>, StatsError>

Get a percentile

Linear time.

Examples:

let percs: inc_stats::Percentiles<f64> = [1.0, 5.0].iter().collect();
let quart = percs.percentile(0.25).unwrap().unwrap();
assert!((2.0 - quart).abs() < 1.0e-6);

pub fn median(&self) -> Option<T>

Get the median

Linear time.

Examples:

let percs: inc_stats::Percentiles<f64> = [1.0, 5.0, 100.0].iter().collect();
let med = percs.median().unwrap();
assert_eq!(5.0, med);
