// Package quantile computes approximate quantiles over an unbounded data
// stream within low memory and CPU bounds.
//
// A small amount of accuracy is traded to achieve the above properties.
//
// Multiple streams can be merged before calling Query to generate a single set
// of results. This is meaningful when the streams represent the same type of
// data. See Merge and Samples.
//
// For more detailed information about the algorithm used, see:
//
// Effective Computation of Biased Quantiles over Data Streams
