Class IntHeapSelect

java.lang.Object
smile.sort.IntHeapSelect
public class IntHeapSelect extends Object
This class tracks the smallest values seen thus far in a stream of values. This implements a single-pass selection for large data sets. That is, we have a stream of input values, each of which we get to see only once. We want to be able to report at any time, say after n values, the i-th smallest value see so far.

    • add

      public void add(int datum)
      Assimilate a new value from the stream.
      Parameters:
      datum - a new value.

      Returns the k-th smallest value seen so far.
      Returns:
      the k-th smallest value seen so far.

    • get

      public int get(int i)

      Parameters:
      i - the ordinal index of smallest values.
      Returns:
      the i-th smallest value.
