The purpose of this (XS) module is to calculate the median (or in principle also
other statistics) with confidence intervals on a sample. To do that, it uses a
technique called bootstrapping. In a nutshell, it resamples the sample a lot of
times and for each resample, it calculates the median. From the distribution of
medians, it then calculates the confidence limits.
In order to implement the confidence limit calculation, various other functions
had to be implemented efficiently (both algorithmically efficient and done in
C). These functions may be useful in their own right and are thus exposed to
Perl. Most notably, this exposes a median (and general selection) algorithm that
works in linear time as opposed to the trivial implementation that requires
O(n*log(n)).
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
