          Issue Type: New Feature

The Percentile class can handle only in-memory data.
It would be interesting to use an on-line algorithm to estimate quantiles as a 
storeless statistic.
An example of such an algorithm is the exponentially weighted stochastic 
approximation  described in a 2000 paper by Fei Chen ,  Diane Lambert  and José 
C. Pinheiro "Incremental Quantile Estimation for Massive Tracking" which can be
