Features

The following links lead to pages for the different features in the TimescaleDB Toolkit repository.

• ASAP Smoothing ^experimental - A data smoothing algorithm designed to generate human readable graphs which maintain any erratic data behavior while smoothing away the cyclic noise.

• Hyperloglog ^experimental – An approximate COUNT DISTINCT based on hashing that provides reasonable accuracy in constant space. (Methods)

• LTTB ^experimental – A downsample method that preserves visual similarity. (Methods)

• Percentile Approximation - A simple percentile approximation interface [(Methods)], wraps and simplifies the lower level algorithms:

  • T-Digest – A quantile estimate sketch optimized to provide more accurate estimates near the tails (i.e. 0.001 or 0.995) than conventional approaches. (Methods)
  • UddSketch – A quantile estimate sketch which provides a guaranteed maximum relative error. (Methods)
