[#stats]
== Statistics
:idprefix: stats_
Open-addressing and concurrent containers can be configured to keep running statistics
of some internal operations affected by the quality of the supplied hash function.
=== Synopsis
[listing,subs="+macros,+quotes"]
-----
struct xref:#stats_stats_summary_type[__stats-summary-type__]
{
double average;
double variance;
double deviation;
};
struct xref:#stats_insertion_stats_type[__insertion-stats-type__]
{
std::size_t count;
xref:#stats_stats_summary_type[__stats-summary-type__] probe_length;
};
struct xref:stats_lookup_stats_type[__lookup-stats-type__]
{
std::size_t count;
xref:#stats_stats_summary_type[__stats-summary-type__] probe_length;
xref:#stats_stats_summary_type[__stats-summary-type__] num_comparisons;
};
struct xref:reference/stats.adoc#stats_stats_type[__stats-type__]
{
xref:#stats_insertion_stats_type[__insertion-stats-type__] insertion;
xref:stats_lookup_stats_type[__lookup-stats-type__] successful_lookup,
unsuccessful_lookup;
};

==== __stats-summary-type__
Provides the average value, variance and standard deviation of a sequence of numerical values.
==== __insertion-stats-type__
Provides the number of insertion operations performed by a container and
statistics on the associated __probe length__ (number of
xref:structures.adoc#structures_open_addressing_containers[bucket groups] accessed per operation).
==== __lookup-stats-type__
For successful (element found) or unsuccessful (not found) lookup,
provides the number of operations performed by a container and
statistics on the associated __probe length__ (number of
xref:structures.adoc#structures_open_addressing_containers[bucket groups] accessed)
and number of element comparisons per operation.
==== __stats-type__
Provides statistics on insertion, successful and unsuccessful lookups performed by a container.
If the supplied hash function has good quality, then:
* Average probe lenghts should be close to 1.0.
* For successful lookups, the average number of element comparisons should be close to 1.0.
* For unsuccessful lookups, the average number of element comparisons should be close to 0.0.
These statistics can be used to determine if a given hash function
can be marked as xref:reference/hash_traits.adoc#hash_traits_hash_is_avalanching[__avalanching__].
