    Abstract
    For incremental quantile estimators the step size and possibly other tuning parameters must be carefully set. However, little attention has been given on how to set these values in an online manner. In this article we suggest two novel procedures that address this issue. The core part of the procedures is to estimate the current tracking mean squared error (MSE). The MSE is decomposed in tracking variance and bias and novel and efficient procedures to estimate these quantities are presented. It is shown that estimation bias can be tracked by associating it with the portion of observations below the quantile estimates. The first procedure runs an ensemble of $L$ quantile estimators for wide range of values of the tuning parameters and typically around $L = 100$. In each iteration an oracle selects the best estimate by the guidance of the estimated MSEs. The second method only runs an ensemble of $L = 3$ estimators and thus the values of the tuning parameters need from time to time to be adjusted for the running estimators. The procedures have a low memory foot print of $8L$ and a computational complexity of $8L$ per iteration. The experiments show that the procedures are highly efficient and track quantiles with an error close to the theoretical optimum. The Oracle approach performs best, but comes with higher computational cost. The procedures were further applied to a massive real-life data stream of tweets and proofed real world applicability of them.

    Export search results

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items. For anonymous users the allowed maximum amount is 50 search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
