- Hi,
- I need to generate a rolling 90%ile distribution figure for a (large)
- series of numbers as they arrive at the program. i.e after every say
- 100 numbers it spits out the 90% so far.
- The value can be interpolated, but the code must be fast and have a
- minimal overhead i.e I am happy to accept small errors for speed.
-
- Code in any langauge (pref C) or an algorithm will be great...., or
- even some hints (but go easy on me I am a computer scientist - not a
- statistician!).
-
- Cheers
- Karl Funk.
