Subject:      Algorithms for Computing Frequencies
Content-Type: text/plain

Dear SAS-L,
 
        Please pardon the non-SAS related question but I'm looking for
articles that discribe algorithms that compute frequencies.  I've been
using PROC FREQ for years and wondered how it's computed (not
necessarily SAS's algorithm, but any generic frequency).  I'm interested
in both 1-way and n-way frequencies.   To date my web surfing has not
provided much help; I've looked at ACM and ASA pages without luck, plus
YAHOO and a few other search engines.  Any help in this area would be
greatly appreciated.  TIA.
