In computer science, a selection algorithm is an algorithm for finding the kth smallest number in a list, called order statistics. This includes the cases of finding the minimum, maximum, and median elements. There are worst-case linear time selection algorithms. Selection is a subproblem of more complex problems like the nearest neighbor problem and shortest path problems.
