    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flajolet–Martin_algorithm

    A common solution is to combine both the mean and the median: Create hash functions and split them into distinct groups (each of size ). Within each group use the mean for aggregating together the l {\displaystyle l} results, and finally take the median of the k {\displaystyle k} group estimates as the final estimate.

  3. HyperLogLog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperLogLog

    HyperLogLog is an algorithm for the count-distinct problem, approximating the number of distinct elements in a multiset. [1] Calculating the exact cardinality of the distinct elements of a multiset requires an amount of memory proportional to the cardinality, which is impractical for very large data sets.

  4. Count-distinct problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count-distinct_problem

    In computer science, the count-distinct problem [1] (also known in applied mathematics as the cardinality estimation problem) is the problem of finding the number of distinct elements in a data stream with repeated elements. This is a well-known problem with numerous applications.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_sort

    Here input is the input array to be sorted, key returns the numeric key of each item in the input array, count is an auxiliary array used first to store the numbers of items with each key, and then (after the second loop) to store the positions where items with each key should be placed, k is the maximum value of the non-negative key values and ...

  6. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    A universal hashing scheme is a randomized algorithm that selects a hash function h among a family of such functions, in such a way that the probability of a collision of any two distinct keys is 1/m, where m is the number of distinct hash values desired—independently of the two keys. Universal hashing ensures (in a probabilistic sense) that ...

  7. Integer sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_sorting

    In computer science, integer sorting is the algorithmic problem of sorting a collection of data values by integer keys. Algorithms designed for integer sorting may also often be applied to sorting problems in which the keys are floating point numbers, rational numbers, or text strings. [1]
