Python package for probabilistic data structures

For now, probadata implements:

• LogLog structures (LogLog, HyperLogLog and SuperLogLog)
• BloomFilter (including Scalable BloomFilter^[1])
• Count-Min Sketch

##Requirements bitarray is required and will be automatically installed along with probadata

##Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/ampaho/probadata.git

$ cd probadata

$ python setup.py install

##Demo

###Bloom Filter from probadata.bloomfilter import BloomFilter, ScalableBloomFilter

b = BloomFilter(capacity=100)
b.add("Hello")

#for a scalable bf, no need to specify the capacity
sb = ScalableBloomFilter()
sb.add("Hi")

###LoLog from probadata.loglog import LogLog, SuperLogLog, HyperLogLog

#could be any loglog data structure
l = HyperLogLog(maxCardinality=200000, error_rate=.005)
l.add("oops")
l.add("come")
l.getNumberEstimate()

###Count-Min Sketch from probadata.countminsketch import CountMinSketch

sk = CountMinSketch(1000, 10)
sk.add(2, value=456)

#CountMinSketch support indexing in read-only
sk[2]

#or you can use the query method
sk.query(2)

##Todo

• Add an interface with these methods (add, delete, join, query, intersect) to all the probabilistic data structures
• SkipList implementation
• Treap implementation
• Kinetic hanger/ Kinetic heater
• Quotient filter
