Class BoundsOnRatiosInThetaSketchedSets

java.lang.Object
org.apache.datasketches.thetacommon.BoundsOnRatiosInThetaSketchedSets
public final class BoundsOnRatiosInThetaSketchedSets extends Object
This class is used to compute the bounds on the estimate of the ratio B / A, where:
  • A is a Theta Sketch of population PopA.
  • B is a Theta Sketch of population PopB that is a subset of A, obtained by an intersection of A with some other Theta Sketch C, which acts like a predicate or selection clause.
  • The estimate of the ratio PopB/PopA is BoundsOnRatiosInThetaSketchedSets.getEstimateOfBoverA(A, B).
  • The Upper Bound estimate on the ratio PopB/PopA is BoundsOnRatiosInThetaSketchedSets.getUpperBoundForBoverA(A, B).
  • The Lower Bound estimate on the ratio PopB/PopA is BoundsOnRatiosInThetaSketchedSets.getLowerBoundForBoverA(A, B).
Note: The theta of A cannot be greater than the theta of B. If B is formed as an intersection of A and some other set C, then the theta of B is guaranteed to be less than or equal to the theta of B.
