This module provides basic functions used in descriptive statistics. It
|
|
borrows very heavily from Statistics::Descriptive::Full (which is included
|
|
with Statistics::Descriptive) with one major difference. This module is
|
|
optimized for discretized data e.g. data from an A/D conversion that has a
|
|
discrete set of possible values. E.g. if your data is produced by an 8 bit
|
|
A/D then you'd have only 256 possible values in your data set. Even though
|
|
you might have a million data points, you'd only have 256 different values
|
|
in those million points. Instead of storing the entire data set as
|
|
Statistics::Descriptive does, this module only stores the values it's seen
|
|
and the number of times it's seen each value.
|
|
|
|
For very large data sets, this storage method results in significant speed
|
|
and memory improvements. In a test case with 2.6 million data points from
|
|
a real world application, Statistics::Descriptive::Discrete took 40
|
|
seconds to calculate a set of statistics instead of the 561 seconds
|
|
required by Statistics::Descriptive::Full. It also required only 4MB of
|
|
RAM instead of the 400MB used by Statistics::Descriptive::Full for the
|
|
same data set.
