  <dc:title>Wicked Fast, Accurate Quantiles Using t-Digests</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package tdigest version 0.4.3</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The t-Digest construction algorithm, by
    Dunning, (2019) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.1902.04023&gt;, uses a variant of 1-dimensional
    k-means clustering to produce a very compact data structure that allows
    accurate estimation of quantiles. This t-Digest data structure can be used
    to estimate quantiles, compute other rank statistics or even to estimate
    related measures like trimmed means. The advantage of the t-Digest over
    previous digests for this purpose is that the t-Digest handles data with
    full floating point resolution. The accuracy of quantile estimates produced
    by t-Digests can be orders of magnitude more accurate than those produced
    by previous digest algorithms. Methods are provided to create and update
    t-Digests and retrieve quantiles from the accumulated distributions.</dc:description>
