- desired-m P N #!optional Kprocedure
Calculates a near-optimal number of bits of discrimination to meet the desired probability of false positives P, with the given population size N and number of hashes K. When the K parameter is missing optimum-k is used to calculate a value.
A multi-valued return of the calculated M, K, and P values. The calculated probability may be lower than the desired. The calculated M value will always be a fixnum.
