[wkosxmyc] Samples of exponential index

To statistically describe one tail of set of random samples, first sort them, then give the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, 16th... entries up to the median.

Repeat for the other tail.  Also provide the median and the number of samples.

This method leaves up to the reader where the outliers end and the "real" data starts.
