Description

Bentov implements an algorithm which approximates a 1D histogram as data is streamed over it.

README

README.md

An OCaml implementation of histogram-sketching algorithm described in A Streaming Parallel Decision Tree Algorithm by Yael Ben-Haim and Elad Tom-Tov . Included is a command-line utility bt, which can read a file (or stdin) containing numbers, one per line, and output a representation of the approximated distribution.

For example, to approximate 10 quantiles of 1M data in U(0,1):

echo "" | awk '{ for ( i=0 ; i < 1e6 ; i++ ) { print rand() } }' | bt -n 20 -u 10

In this example, the size of the approximating histogram is 20. For additional details, bt --help .
