Class FloatHeapSelect

java.lang.Object

smile.sort.FloatHeapSelect

public class FloatHeapSelect
extends java.lang.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.
