/**
* This is a stochastic streaming sketch that enables near-real time analysis of the
* approximate distribution of real values from a very large stream in a single pass.
* The analysis is obtained using a getQuantiles(*) function or its inverse functions the
* Probability Mass Function from getPMF(*) and the Cumulative Distribution Function from getCDF(*).
*
* <p>Consider a large stream of one million values such as packet sizes coming into a network node.
* The absolute rank of any specific size value is simply its index in the hypothetical sorted
* array of values.
* The normalized rank is the absolute rank divided by the stream size, in this case one million.
* The value corresponding to the normalized rank of 0.5 represents the 50th percentile or median
* value of the distribution, or getQuantile(0.5). Similarly, the 95th percentile is obtained from
* getQuantile(0.95).</p>
*
* <p>If you have prior knowledge of the approximate range of values, for example, 1 to 1000 bytes,
* you can obtain the PMF from getPMF(100, 500, 900) that will result in an array of
* 4 fractional values such as {.4, .3, .2, .1}, which means that
* 40% of the values were &lt; 100,
* 30% of the values were &ge; 100 and &lt; 500,
* 20% of the values were &ge; 500 and &lt; 900, and
* 10% of the values were &ge; 900.
* A frequency histogram can be obtained by simply multiplying these fractions by getN(),
* which is the total count of values received.
* The getCDF(*) works similarly, but produces the cumulative distribution instead.</p>
*
* <p>The accuracy of this sketch is a function of the configured value <i>k</i>, which also affects
* the overall size of the sketch. Accuracy of this quantile sketch is always with respect to
* the normalized rank. A <i>k</i> of 128 produces a normalized, rank error of about 1.7%.
* For example, the median value returned from getQuantile(0.5) will be between the actual values
* from the hypothetically sorted array of input values at normalized ranks of 0.483 and 0.517, with
* a confidence of about 99%.</p>

* <p>This is an implementation of the Low Discrepancy Mergeable Quantiles Sketch, using double
* values, described in section 3.2 of the journal version of the paper "Mergeable Summaries"
* by Agarwal, Cormode, Huang, Phillips, Wei, and Yi.
* <a href="http://dblp.org/rec/html/journals/tods/AgarwalCHPWY13"></a></p>
*
* <p>This algorithm is independent of the distribution of values, which can be anywhere in the
* range of the IEEE-754 64-bit doubles.
*
* <p>This algorithm intentionally inserts randomness into the sampling process for values that
* ultimately get retained in the sketch. The result is that this algorithm is not
* deterministic. For example, if the same stream is inserted into two different instances of this
* sketch, the answers obtained from the two sketches may not be be identical.</p>
*
* <p>Similarly, there may be directional inconsistencies. For example, the resulting array of
* values obtained from getQuantiles(fractions[]) input into the reverse directional query
* getPMF(splitPoints[]) may not result in the original fractional values.</p>
