Hi Fabian,
Thank you very much for your email.
I had the same concern about the accumulation error of one-scan approach as
you do, even though mathematically they should be exactly the same. I
remember about 10 years ago, I did some experimentations on both of the
approaches and I did not found any noticeable differences between the
results, but the sample size I tried then is not huge.
For the sample size of the order 1 trillion, I have the same concern even
with the two-scan approach. For example, After 500 billion entries have
been added to the sum of square, the rest may not be able to be added up
anymore, since it may well with the range of accumulation errors! For a
huge BAT, if the precision is top priority, we may need to use an
hierarchical approach: divide the huge sample into some manageable block,
compute it for each block first, and then aggregate the results.
Thanks,
Yinhe
