  2. Approximate counting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_counting_algorithm

    For example, in base 2, the counter can estimate the count to be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and all of the powers of two. The memory requirement is simply to hold the exponent. As an example, to increment from 4 to 8, a pseudo-random number would be generated such that the probability the counter is increased is 0.25. Otherwise, the counter remains at 4.

  3. Counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting

    Number blocks, which can be used for counting. Counting is the process of determining the number of elements of a finite set of objects; that is, determining the size of a set. . The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the ...

  4. Count sketch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Sketch

    Count sketch is a type of dimensionality reduction that is particularly efficient in statistics, machine learning and algorithms. [1] [2] It was invented by Moses Charikar, Kevin Chen and Martin Farach-Colton [3] in an effort to speed up the AMS Sketch by Alon, Matias and Szegedy for approximating the frequency moments of streams [4] (these calculations require counting of the number of ...

  5. Prime-counting function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime-counting_function

    [1] [2] It is denoted by π(x) (unrelated to the number π). A symmetric variant seen sometimes is π 0 (x), which is equal to π(x) − 1 ⁄ 2 if x is exactly a prime number, and equal to π(x) otherwise. That is, the number of prime numbers less than x, plus half if x equals a prime.

  6. Count-distinct problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count-distinct_problem

    In computer science, the count-distinct problem [1] (also known in applied mathematics as the cardinality estimation problem) is the problem of finding the number of distinct elements in a data stream with repeated elements. This is a well-known problem with numerous applications.

  7. Counting sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_sort

    Because it uses arrays of length k + 1 and n, the total space usage of the algorithm is also O(n + k). [1] For problem instances in which the maximum key value is significantly smaller than the number of items, counting sort can be highly space-efficient, as the only storage it uses other than its input and output arrays is the Count array ...

  8. Count–min sketch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count–min_sketch

    The count–min sketch was invented in 2003 by Graham Cormode and S. Muthu Muthukrishnan [1] and described by them in a 2005 paper. [2] Count–min sketch is an alternative to count sketch and AMS sketch and can be considered an implementation of a counting Bloom filter (Fan et al., 1998 [3]) or multistage-filter. [1]

  9. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    For loop illustration, from i=0 to i=2, resulting in data1=200. A for-loop statement is available in most imperative programming languages. Even ignoring minor differences in syntax, there are many differences in how these statements work and the level of expressiveness they support.
