Hello everyone, I'm working on a Perl module project that aims to offer descriptive statistical functions without keeping the whole dataset in memory, at the cost of certain precision loss. It does so by sorting raw data into logarithmic buckets, and analyzing bucket counts later. The interface follows that of Statistics::Descriptive::Full as close as possible.
However, I'm not completely sure how to name it. My current idea is Statistics::Approx::LogScale. Does it count as descriptive, unambiguous name? I was thinking of Statistics::Descriptive::Approximate initially, but it's already too long, and there may be other algorithms (e.g. probabilistic resampling) meaning even more ::'s. The current project name is Statistics::Approx::Bucket, but it looks like LogScale is better. Or isn't it? Just in case, the project page is https://github.com/dallaylaen/perl-Statistics-Approx-Bucket Thanks in advance! -- Konstantin S. Uvarin
