## Struct template weighted_extended_p_square_impl

boost::accumulators::impl::weighted_extended_p_square_impl — Multiple quantile estimation with the extended algorithm for weighted samples.

## Synopsis

    // In header: <boost/accumulators/statistics/weighted_extended_p_square.hpp>

    template<typename Sample, typename Weight>
    struct weighted_extended_p_square_impl {
      // types
      typedef numeric::functional::multiplies< Sample, Weight >::result_type         weighted_sample;
      typedef numeric::functional::fdiv< weighted_sample, std::size_t >::result_type float_type;
      typedef std::vector< float_type >                                              array_type;
      typedef unspecified                                                            result_type;

      // construct/copy/destruct
      template<typename Args> weighted_extended_p_square_impl(Args const &);

      // public member functions
      template<typename Args> void operator()(Args const &);
      result_type result(dont_care) const;
    };

## Description

This version of the extended algorithm extends the extended algorithm to support weighted samples. The extended algorithm dynamically estimates several quantiles without storing samples. Assume that quantiles are to be estimated. Instead of storing the whole sample cumulative distribution, the algorithm maintains only principal markers and middle markers, whose positions are updated with each sample and whose heights are adjusted (if necessary) using a piecewise-parablic formula. The heights of the principal markers are the current estimates of the quantiles and are returned as an iterator range.

The extended algorithm generalizes the algorithm of
