> improve performance of Percentile
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-417
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-417
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Luc Maisonobe
> Fix For: 2.2
>
>
> The 2.1 implementation of Percentile sorts the sample array each time its
> evaluate method is called.
> When a lot of different percentiles are to be computed for the same sample,
> this unduces a lot of sorting work that could be avoided.
> When only one percentile is desired, a complete sort is also a waste of
> efforts as it runs in O(n ln(n)) when only a selection in O(n) would be
> sufficient.
