> Components: arrays
> Reporter: Alex Herbert
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.2

>
> Create a selection API to select the k-th largest element in an array. This
> places at k the same value that would be at k in a fully sorted array.
> {code:java}
> public final class Selection {
> public static void select(double[] a, int k);
> public static void select(double[] a, int from, int to, int k);
> public static void select(double[] a, int[] k);
> public static void select(double[] a, int from, int to, int[] k);
> // Extend to other primitive data types that are not easily sorted (e.g.
> long, float, int)
> {code}
> Note: This API will support multiple points (int[] k) for use in quantile
> estimation of array data by interpolation of neighbouring values (see
> STATISTICS-85).
