algorithm - Calculating total over timespan with arbitrary datapoints -
if given total number of occurrences of event on last hour, , can data @ arbitrary times ( @ least once hour ), how can work out total number of occurrences on 24 hour period?
obviously, can't. example -- if first 2 observations overlap impossible determine number of kills during overlap. if there time gap between first 2 observations there no way determine happened during gap. try set system of equations -- resulting system underdetermined (but give both min , max, might relevant).
why not adopt statistical approach? let x = kills on 1 hour period. random variable. estimate expected value sampling @ randomly chosen times , multiply estimate 24.
