Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: identifying a set of partitions separating one or more bins from one another, wherein the one or more bins are partitioned by the set of partitions such that each of the one or more bins has boundaries including a lower boundary and an upper boundary, wherein the boundaries of the one or more bins together define a contiguous range of data values capable of being stored in the one or more bins; obtaining a data value; adding the data value to one of the one or more bins, based upon the data value, according to the boundaries of the one or more bins; determining whether to adjust the set of partitions separating the one or more bins from one another; and adjusting at least of one the partitions according to a result of the determining step, wherein determining whether to adjust comprises calculating a mean-squared error (MSE) between a vector of ideal number of data values per bin and a vector of current number of data values per bin; and wherein adjusting at least of one the partitions is performed such that the MSE between the vector of ideal number of data values per bin and the vector of current number of data values per bin is minimized.
