public enum Family
extends Enum<Family>
```
Defines the various families of sketch and set operation classes. A family defines a set of classes that share fundamental algorithms and behaviors. The classes within a family may still differ by how they are stored and accessed. For example, internally there are separate classes for the QuickSelect sketch algorithm that operate on the Java heap and off-heap. Not all of these families have parallel forms on and off-heap but are included for completeness.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - ALPHA
```
public static final Family ALPHA
```
    The Alpha Sketch family is a member of the Theta Sketch Framework of sketches and is best suited for real-time processes where both the updating of the sketch and getting the estimate is performed directly on the sketch. In this situation the AlphaSketch has roughly a 30% improvement (~1/sqrt(2*k)) in its error distribution as compared to the QuickSelect (or similar KMV-derived) sketches.
    If the AlphaSketch is fed into any SetOperation, the error distribution reverts back to the normal QuickSelect/KMV error distribution (~1/sqrt(k)). For this reason, the AlphaSketch does not have a sister class for off-heap operation. The Alpha Sketch has a roughly 30% faster overall update time as compared to the QuickSelect sketch family.
    
    The Alpha Sketch is created using the UpdateSketch.builder(). See Alpha TCF and Theta Sketch Framework
  - QUICKSELECT
```
public static final Family QUICKSELECT
```
    The QuickSelect Sketch family is a member of the Theta Sketch Framework of sketches and is the workhorse of the Theta Sketch Families and can be constructed for either on-heap or off-heap operation. The QuickSelect Sketch is created using the UpdateSketch.builder(). See Quick Select TCF
  - COMPACT
```
public static final Family COMPACT
```
    The Compact Sketch family is a member of the Theta Sketch Framework of sketches. The are read-only and cannot be updated, but can participate in any of the Set Operations. The compact sketches are never created directly with a constructor or Builder. Instead they are created as a result of the compact() method of an UpdateSketch or as a result of a getSketchSamples() of a SetOperation.
  - UNION
```
public static final Family UNION
```
    The Union family is an operation for the Theta Sketch Framework of sketches. The Union is constructed using the SetOperation.builder().
  - INTERSECTION
```
public static final Family INTERSECTION
```
    The Intersection family is an operation for the Theta Sketch Framework of sketches. The Intersection is constructed using the SetOperation.builder().
  - A_NOT_B
```
public static final Family A_NOT_B
```
    The A and not B family is an operation for the Theta Sketch Framework of sketches. The AnotB operation is constructed using the SetOperation.builder().
