> Ideally, the scale should be "floating" just as in floating-point arithmetic, depending on the current running sum (the running sum can be very large if all data is positive, or very small if the data is centered around zero). It is then normalized to the original scale at the end. But of course that makes the algorithm more involved. Yeah, this is quite complicated and essentially means you need to implement the floating point addition algorithm. > Either is fine to me.
