Detailed Description

template<typename TFloat>
class itk::CompensatedSummation< TFloat >

Perform more precise accumulation of floating point numbers.

The float and double datatypes only have finite precision. When performing a running sum of floats, the accumulated errors get progressively worse as the magnitude of the sum gets large relative to new elements.

From Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

"In numerical analysis, the Kahan summation algorithm (also known as compensated summation) significantly reduces the numerical error in the total obtained by adding a sequence of finite precision floating point numbers, compared to the obvious approach. This is done by keeping a separate running compensation (a variable to accumulate small errors)."

For example, instead of

double sum = 0.0;
for( unsigned int i = 0; i < array.Size(); ++i )
{
sum += array.GetElement(i);
}

do

using CompensatedSummationType = CompensatedSummation<double>;
CompensatedSummationType compensatedSummation;
for( unsigned int i = 0; i < array.Size(); ++i )
{
compensatedSummation += array.GetElement(i);
}
double sum = compensatedSummation.GetSum();
