	Bucket sort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bucket sort, or bin sort, is a sorting algorithm that works by partitioning an array into a finite number of buckets.
		Bucket sort is a generalization of pigeonhole sort.
		Since bucket sort is not a comparison sort, it is not subject to the Ω(n log n) lower bound.

	Sort Algorithms: Comparisons and Efficiencies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The bucket sort is a distribution sort where array elements are initially distributed to several "buckets" based on an interpolation of the element's key.
		The bucket sort implemented in the test executions requires a number of passes equivalent to the number of positions, or length, of the largest element in the unsorted array.
		The quick sort is an in-place sort algorithm that uses the divide and conquer paradigm, that is, it picks an element from the array (the pivot), partitions the remaining elements into those greater than and less than this pivot, and recursively sorts the partitions.

	Bucket Sort Algorithm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A bucket sort begins with a single-subscripted array of positive integers to be sorted and a double-subscripted array of integers with rows subscripted from 0 to 9 and columns subscripted from 0 to n-1, where n is the number of values in the array to be sorted.
		The bucket sort is guaranteed to have all the values properly sorted after processing the leftmost digit of the largest number.
		Another possibility is to create a second double-subscripted bucket array and repeatedly move the data between the two bucket arrays until all the data is copied into row 0 of one of the arrays.

	0.3.9 Bucket and Radix Sorting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The bucket sort is a non-comparison-based sorting algorithm in which we allocate one storage location for each item to be sorted and proceed to process the data set to be sorted assigning each item into its corresponding bucket.
		The bucket sort is a good choice when items to be sorted are from a small data range that is known in advance.
		One problem with the bucket sort is that, if the range of items to be sorted is very large, an unreasonable amount of memory is required to allocate enough buckets.

	More Sorts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		To use the counting sort three arrays are needed, the original unsorted array, A, an array to keep temporary data, B, and one for the new sorted array, C. The sort first scans through the original array, keeping track in array B the number of times a number appears.
		Bucket sort is used to sort floating point numbers that contain the values from 0 up to 1.
		Bucket sort is used by dividing the interval from 0 up to 1 into equal parts, buckets, and then distributes the original array into the buckets.

	bucket sort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Definition: A distribution sort where input elements are initially distributed to several buckets based on an interpolation of the element's key.
		Bucket sorts work well for data sets where the possible key values are known and relatively small and there are on average just a few elements per bucket.
		The buckets may be arranged so the concatenation phase is not needed, for instance, the buckets are contiguous parts of an array.

		Although the process appears to be the same the Bucket sort does not use the value of the items to be sorted as an index of a specific location which is then incremented.
		The hardware version of the Check sort is called the "Instant sort" and uses a single bit data bus random access memory chip (such as the NTE2102 1024x1 static ram chip) to record the binary incrementation at any location indexed by the data which is applied to the random access memory chip address bus.
		The Rapid sort is implemented in hardware in the same manner as the Check sort (also called the "Instant sort") by using a random access memory chip with a wider data bus.

	Bucket sort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Whereas counting sort assumes that the input consists of integers in a small range, bucket sort assumes that the input is generated by a random process that distributes elements uniformly over the interval [0,1).
		The idea of bucket sort is to divide the interval [0,1) into n equal-sized subintervals, or buckets, and then distribute the n input numbers into the buckets.
		The total time to examine all buckets in line 5 is O(n), and so the only interesting part of the analysis is the time taken by the insertion sorts in line 5.

		A Bucket sort begins with a single-subscripted array of positive integers to be sorted, and a double-subscripted array of integers with rows subscripted from 0 to 9 and columns subscripted from 0 to n – 1 where n is the number of values in the array to be sorted.
		The bucket sort knows it is done when all the values are copied into row zero of the double-subscripted array.
		Another possibility is to create a second double-subscripted bucket array and repeatedly move the data between the two bucket arrays until all the data is copied into row zero of one arrays.

	Day 2 Review
		Sorting algorithms are important, partly because a sorted collection makes searching much more efficient, as we will see.
		The best sorting algorithm depends on the problem at hand: the elements of the collection, the value that they are sorted by, and the way that the collection is stored.
		Split the rest of the things to be sorted into 2 piles: one pile of things that come before that element, and one of things that come after.

	Bucket and radix sorting
		In radix sorting, the last pass of bucket sorting is the one with the most effect on the overall order.
		The previous bucket sorting passes are used only to take care of the case in which two items have the same key (mod 10) on the last pass.
		The buckets of the second bucket sort give, for each i, a sorted list of the characters in position i of the strings, which tells us which buckets will be nonempty in the radix sort part of the algorithm.

		Note that the double-subscripted array of buckets is ten times the size of the integer array being sorted.
		This version of the bucket sort requires copying all the data back to the original array on each pass.

		We recall quicksort as one of the best sorting algorithms, it is part of the standard C language, see use_qsort.c for an example of how to use the function qsort.
		Bucket sort consists of two steps: (1) distribute the numbers into p buckets (the numbers in the i-th bucket are all smaller than the ones in the (i+1)-th bucket); (2) apply qsort to all buckets.
		Bucket sort belongs to the category of "sorting by distribution", also known as "radix sort".

	Non-Comparison Sorting Algorithms
		As we have mentioned, it can be proved that a sorting algorithm that involves comparing pairs of values can never have a worst-case time better than O(N log N), where N is the size of the array to be sorted.
		There are two versions of counting sort, depending on whether the goal is simply to sort N integers, or to sort N integers each of which has some associated information to be carried along with it.
		A sorting algorithm that preserves the original order of duplicate keys (e.g., for this example, that finishes with the pair (1, Anne) coming before the pair (1, Sandy)) is called a stable sort.

	Bucket Sort
		The idea of Bucket sort is to divide the interval [0, 1) into n equal-sized subintervals, or buckets, and then distribute the n input numbers into the buckets.
		To produce the output, simply sort the numbers in each bucket and then go through the bucket in order, listing the elements in each.
		The probability that a given element falls in a bucket B[i] is 1/n i.e., Probability = p = 1/n.

	Radix sort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The sort in step 2 is usually done using bucket sort or counting sort, which are efficient in this case since there are usually only a small number of digits.
		When an LSD radix sort processes keys which all have the same fixed length, then the upper bound of the execution time is O(n), where n is the number of keys to be sorted.
		One disadvantage of an LSD radix sort is that it does not run in place, which means that the keys or pointers to the keys must be temporarily stored outside of their original memory space during processing.

	Radix Sort Revisited
		The Radix Sort is then a multipass sort, and the number of passes equals the number of radices in the input values.
		The second pass will sort this list according to the first column (ie the MSB, our second radix) and since the sorting method is stable, the 3 numbers 0xAA, 0xAB and 0xAC which share the same MSB will be found in output in the same order as in input.
		For example when sorting words instead of dwords, the two last passes are useless since all involved bytes are null – in other words, none of those two passes will change the order in which the list already is. The idea then, is to detect those pathological cases and take advantage of them.

	Bucket Sort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Bucket Sort is another approach based on comparing digits.
		Its running time is O(nd) where n is the number of elements to sort* and d is the number of digits in the largest number.
		These buckets are then concatenated to form the sequence used for the next iteration.

	Program 4
		A bucket sort begins with a single-subscripted array of positive integers with d digits and a double-subscripted array of integers with row subscripts from 0 to 9 and columns subscripted from 0 to n - 1, where n is the number of data elements in the original array to be sorted.
		For example, if the data is to be given by four digit integers and the current digit being sorted in the loop is the 3rd, then 623 is placed in bucket 6, 9476 is place in bucket 4 and 17 is placed in bucket 0.
		Oxtyl recommends that they use a computer program to sort the records but she is worried that even that may not be efficient enough.

	An Application of Linked Lists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Radix sort generalizes bucket sort by using several passes of bucket sort, one for each possible digit in the input numbers, beginning with the least significant digit.
		After each pass, a new list for the remainder of the sort is constructed by concatenating the lists which form the individual buckets, starting with the list for the smallest digit whose corresponding bucket is not empty.
		Here are some snapshots of radix sort in action for a list of numbers having at most three digits.

	CSC-152 98S : Outline of Class 26: Sorting Without Swapping
		In bucket sort, we build a set of buckets that correspond to the range of elements.
		One implementation question that arises is how to implement the buckets, given that the same bucket may hold multiple elements.
		In radix sort, one repeatedly partitions the objects based on one of the elements of the sequence, moving from least significant to most significant element of the sequence.

	Fastest sort method?
		The problem with radix and bucket sorts is that it is only good for small amount of data.
		If each bucket only has one key when you are done going through the list then it is O(n), but in most cases you'll have multiple keys inside each bucket, therefore you have to sort each bucket that has more than one key.
		The more keys you have per bucket the moe ineffient the algorithm is. Qucksort doesn't degenerate as bad as bucket or radix sort when the key size gets large.
