flow-quantiles
Reduce transform stream which computes the quantiles over a stream of numeric data.
Note: in order to calculate the quantiles exactly, all data must be buffered into memory. As a result, this stream acts as a sink. Use caution when applying the transform to large datasets.
Installation
$ npm install flow-quantiles
Examples
var eventStream = require( 'event-stream' ),
qStream = require( 'flow-quantiles' );
// Create some data...
var data = new Array( 1000 );
for ( var i = 0; i < data.length; i++ ) {
data[ i ] = Math.round( Math.random() * 100 );
}
// Create a readable stream:
var readStream = eventStream.readArray( data );
// Create a new quantiles stream:
var stream = qStream()
.quantiles( 10 )
.stream();
// Pipe the data:
readStream.pipe( stream )
.pipe( eventStream.stringify() )
.pipe( process.stdout );
Tests
Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions.
Assuming you have installed Mocha, execute the following command in the top-level application directory to run the tests:
$ mocha
All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
