RE: [sv-ec] Mantis 2055 : coverage bin distribution

Good catch.
 
The difference was not intended, and should apply to the case of a fixed
number of bins as well. I will revise the proposal to apply there as
well.
 
Thanks,
Shalom

	Mantis 2055 mentions a modified formula to be used for coverage
bin distribution specifically for section 18.5.2, which deals with
automatic bins. 
	 
	The distribution technique for sized vector bins (ref the
underlined line shown in the excerpt below) is different from the
distribution scheme described in Mantis 2055. 
	 
	Is this difference intended or both these distribution schemes
should match so that we have a consistent bin distribution method?
	 
	Regds,
	Swapnajit.
	 
	 
	 
	 
	---------------------------excerpt from
P1800-2008-draft3aPROTECTED.pdf (section 18.5)
------------------------------------------
	 
	If a fixed number of bins is specified and that number is
smaller than the specified number of values, then
	the possible bin values are uniformly distributed among the
specified bins. The first 'n' specified values are
	assigned to the first bin, the next 'n' specified values are
assigned to the next bin, etc. Duplicate values are
	retained; thus the same value can be assigned to multiple bins.
If the number of values is not divisible by the
	number of bins, then the last bin will include the remaining
items. For example:
	 
	
	bins fixed [4] = {1:10, 1, 4, 7};
	 
	
	The 13 possible values are distributed as follows: <1,2,3>,
<4,5,6>, <7,8,9>, <10,1,4,7>. If the number of
	bins exceeds the number of values, then some of the bins will be
empty.
