/**
* Provides a fluent API for calculating quantiles.
*
* Examples
*
* To compute the median:
*
*
{@code
* double myMedian = median().compute(myDataset);
* }
*
* where {@link #median()} has been statically imported.
*
* To compute the 99th percentile:
*
*
{@code
* double myPercentile99 = percentiles().index(99).compute(myDataset);
* }
*
* where {@link #percentiles()} has been statically imported.
*
* To compute median and the 90th and 99th percentiles:
*
*
{@code
* Map myPercentiles =
* percentiles().indexes(50, 90, 99).compute(myDataset);
* }
*
* where {@link #percentiles()} has been statically imported: {@code myPercentiles} maps the keys
* 50, 90, and 99, to their corresponding quantile values.
*
* To compute quartiles, use {@link #quartiles()} instead of {@link #percentiles()}. To compute
* arbitrary q-quantiles, use {@link #scale scale(q)}.
*
*
These examples all take a copy of your dataset. If you have a double array, you are okay with
* it being arbitrarily reordered, and you want to avoid that copy, you can use {@code
* computeInPlace} instead of {@code compute}.
*
*
Definition and notes on interpolation
*
* The definition of the kth q-quantile of N values is as follows: define x = k * (N - 1) / q; if
* x is an integer, the result is the value which would appear at index x in the sorted dataset
* (unless there are {@link Double#NaN NaN} values, see below); otherwise, the result is the average
* of the values which would appear at the indexes floor(x) and ceil(x) weighted by (1-frac(x)) and
* frac(x) respectively. This is the same definition as used by Excel and by S, it is the Type 7
* definition in R, and it is
* described by
* wikipedia as providing "Linear interpolation of the modes for the order statistics for the
* uniform distribution on [0,1]."
*
*
Handling of non-finite values
*
* If any values in the input are {@link Double#NaN NaN} then all values returned are {@link
* Double#NaN NaN}. (This is the one occasion when the behaviour is not the same as you'd get from
* sorting with {@link java.util.Arrays#sort(double[]) Arrays.sort(double[])} or {@link
* java.util.Collections#sort(java.util.List) Collections.sort(List<Double>)} and selecting
* the required value(s). Those methods would sort {@link Double#NaN NaN} as if it is greater than
* any other value and place them at the end of the dataset, even after {@link
* Double#POSITIVE_INFINITY POSITIVE_INFINITY}.)
*
*
Otherwise, {@link Double#NEGATIVE_INFINITY NEGATIVE_INFINITY} and {@link
* Double#POSITIVE_INFINITY POSITIVE_INFINITY} sort to the beginning and the end of the dataset, as
* you would expect.
*
*
If required to do a weighted average between an infinity and a finite value, or between an
* infinite value and itself, the infinite value is returned. If required to do a weighted average
* between {@link Double#NEGATIVE_INFINITY NEGATIVE_INFINITY} and {@link Double#POSITIVE_INFINITY
* POSITIVE_INFINITY}, {@link Double#NaN NaN} is returned (note that this will only happen if the
* dataset contains no finite values).
*
*
Performance
*
* The average time complexity of the computation is O(N) in the size of the dataset. There is a
* worst case time complexity of O(N^2). You are extremely unlikely to hit this quadratic case on
* randomly ordered data (the probability decreases faster than exponentially in N), but if you are
* passing in unsanitized user data then a malicious user could force it. A light shuffle of the
* data using an unpredictable seed should normally be enough to thwart this attack.
*
*
The time taken to compute multiple quantiles on the same dataset using {@link Scale#indexes
* indexes} is generally less than the total time taken to compute each of them separately, and
* sometimes much less. For example, on a large enough dataset, computing the 90th and 99th
* percentiles together takes about 55% as long as computing them separately.
*
*
When calling {@link ScaleAndIndex#compute} (in {@linkplain ScaleAndIndexes#compute either
* form}), the memory requirement is 8*N bytes for the copy of the dataset plus an overhead which is
* independent of N (but depends on the quantiles being computed). When calling {@link
* ScaleAndIndex#computeInPlace computeInPlace} (in {@linkplain ScaleAndIndexes#computeInPlace
* either form}), only the overhead is required. The number of object allocations is independent of
* N in both cases.
