CSUM() in Digital Signal Processing terms:  z-1 is a unit delay, Q is a floating-point quantizer to 64 bits,  qi represents error due to quantization (additive by definition).  -Jon Dattorro

function s_hat=csum(x)
% CSUM Sum of elements using a compensated summation algorithm.
%
% For large vectors, the native sum command in Matlab does 
% not appear to use a compensated summation algorithm which 
% can cause significant roundoff errors.
%
% This code implements a variant of Kahan's compensated 
% summation algorithm which often takes about twice as long, 
% but produces more accurate sums when the number of 
% elements is large. -David Gleich
