Approximate Decomposition: A Method for Bounding and Estimating Probabilistic and Deterministic Queries
In this paper, we introduce a method for approximating the solution to inference and optimization tasks in uncertain and deterministic reasoning. Such tasks are in general intract...

Deterministic sampling and range counting in geometric data streams
We present memory-efficient deterministic algorithms for constructing -nets and -approximations of streams of geometric data. Unlike probabilistic approaches, these deterministic...

Wavelet synopses with error guarantees
Recent work has demonstrated the effectiveness of the wavelet decomposition in reducing large amounts of data to compact sets of wavelet coefficients (termed "wavelet synopse...

Relational Confidence Bounds Are Easy With The Bootstrap
Statistical estimation and approximate query processing have become increasingly prevalent applications for database systems. However, approximation is usually of little use witho...
