## Struct template weighted_p_square_cumulative_distribution_impl

boost::accumulators::impl::weighted_p_square_cumulative_distribution_impl — Histogram calculation of the cumulative distribution with the algorithm for weighted samples.

## Synopsis

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

    template<typename Sample, typename Weight>
    struct weighted_p_square_cumulative_distribution_impl {
      // types
      typedef numeric::functional::multiplies< Sample, Weight >::result_type            weighted_sample;
      typedef numeric::functional::average< weighted_sample, std::size_t >::result_type float_type;
      typedef std::vector< std::pair< float_type, float_type > >                        histogram_type;
      typedef std::vector< float_type >                                                 array_type;
      typedef iterator_range< typename histogram_type::iterator >                       result_type;

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

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

## Description

A histogram of the sample cumulative distribution is computed dynamically without storing samples based on the algorithm for weighted samples. The returned histogram has a specifiable amount (num_cells) equiprobable (and not equal-sized) cells.

Note that applying importance sampling results in regions to be more and other regions to be less accurately estimated than without importance sampling, i.e., with unweighted samples.
