Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for incrementally tracking quantiles in the presence of multiple record types. A method for performing incremental quantile tracking includes receiving a first data record of a first record type and a second data record of a second record type, and updating a quantile probability for a quantile value, based on the first record type of the first data record and the second record type of the second data record, to obtain a new quantile probability for the quantile value.
