To do so, one would need to combine partial computations. In other words, we need accumulator_set::combine(). This would combine the partial computation state from another accumulator_set.
This operation would enable the accumulators to be used with parallel_reduce.
I'm not expert in statistical computations, but as far as I can see, this should be doable quite easily.
Makes sense, and if I recall this has been discussed before. I even seem to recall Matthias saying that something like this is planned. Matthias?
At any rate, could you open a feature request trac ticket for this so we don't lose it? Thanks.
Done. Regards, Pavol
