/*
* Floating proportions with flexible aging period
*
* Copyright (C) 2011, SUSE, Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
*
* The goal of this code is: Given different types of event, measure proportion
* of each type of event over time. The proportions are measured with
* exponentially decaying history to give smooth transitions. A formula
* expressing proportion of event of type 'j' is:
*
* p_{j} = (\Sum_{i>=0} x_{i,j}/2^{i+1})/(\Sum_{i>=0} x_i/2^{i+1})
*
* Where x_{i,j} is j's number of events in i-th last time period and x_i is
* total number of events in i-th last time period.
*
* Note that p_{j}'s are normalised, i.e.
*
* \Sum_{j} p_{j} = 1,
*
* This formula can be straightforwardly computed by maintaing denominator
* (let's call it 'd') and for each event type its numerator (let's call it
* 'n_j'). When an event of type 'j' happens, we simply need to do:
* n_j++; d++;
*
* When a new period is declared, we could do:
* d /= 2
* for each j
* n_j /= 2
*
* To avoid iteration over all event types, we instead shift numerator of event
* j lazily when someone asks for a proportion of event j or when event j
* occurs. This can bit trivially implemented by remembering last period in
* which something happened with proportion of type j.
