Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method for data processing using one or more network computers, comprising:
obtaining a first numerical value based on a first data source;
storing the first numerical value in a tree data structure according to a precision by steps comprising:
storing an exponent for the first numerical value in an exponential node that is a root of the tree data structure; and
storing respective significant figure digits of the first numerical value in respective regular nodes of the tree data structure, wherein the tree data structure is arranged such that
each of the respective significant figure digits is stored in a respective regular node,
a first regular node that stores a first significant digit is an ancestor node of a second regular node that stores a second significant digit that is less significant than the first significant digit, and
the exponential node is a parent node of a regular node that stores a most significant figure digit of the first numerical value;

computing information for nodes in the tree data structure, wherein the information includes one or more of statistics, metrics, or histogram information;
storing the information in the nodes; and
employing the computed information to respond to a query related to the first data source.
