I am in need of assistance. I will be computing a measured variable, then taking the top 100 values of these and averaging them. Please remember, I have been teaching myself only for the past 6 weeks and what is obvious to some, will not necessarily be obvious to me.
In essence, say 'double x' is the variable, that I have many close values for. What I need is a way to compute the sum (then average) of the top 100 of these values.
In my research, the closest thing I can see that would suit what I need is 'nextAfter(double start, double direction); and before this, using 'max' to determine the maximum value, would this be the correct starting point:
double xm = max(x); static double (xm, x < xm);
My question is how to get the sum of the top 100 values (the maximum and 99 nextAfter's) - averaging would be easy - just dividing by 100.
