Class HeapSelect<T extends Comparable<? super T>>

java.lang.Object

smile.sort.HeapSelect<T>

public class HeapSelect<T extends Comparable<? super T>>
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.

Method Detail

add

public void add(T datum)

Assimilate a new value from the stream.

heapify

public void heapify()

In case of avoiding creating new objects frequently, one may check and update the peek object directly and call this method to sort the internal array in heap order.

peek

public T peek()

Returns the k-th smallest value seen so far.

get

public T get(int i)

Returns the i-th smallest value seen so far. i = 0 returns the smallest value seen, i = 1 the second largest, ..., i = k-1 the last position tracked. Also, i must be less than the number of previous assimilated.

sort

public void sort()

Sort the smallest values.
