Can one calculate covariance and simple linear regression (correlation, intersection, slope)?

Not yet, but adding new statistical accumulators is pretty easy. Patches would be graciously accepted.

I'm working on converting a median accumulator algorithm I wrote a little while back to your framework.

Great!

It does however require some parameters to optimize the performance. How is that handled in your framework?

I'm actively working on the docs, updated daily at http://boost-sandbox.sf.net/libs/accumulators. In particular, have a look at http://tinyurl.com/dpzmt. Basically, you'll use named parameters from the Boost.Parameters library. Have a look at how order_impl is implemented to accept the cache_size named parameter. I need to add an Extensibility section to the docs that describes this in detail. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
