If you wanted to, you could run compression every iteration (it is an idempotent operation). Internally, the `compress` method uses a merging threshold that indeeds depends on the number of elements seen, but it operates on a number of samples that is bounded by O(1/\epsi). This patch will work. @clockfly I suspect some of the wrappers done in the Approximate percentile are not required either, once I submit a PR that fixes an off-by-1 error.
