Sampling-Based Estimation of the Number of Distinct Values of an Attribute
We provide several new sampling-based estimators of the number of distinct values of an attribute in a relation. We compare these new estimators to estimators from the database an...

Finite time bounds for sampling based fitted value iteration
In this paper we consider sampling based fitted value iteration for discounted, large (possibly infinite) state space, finite action Markovian Decision Problems where only a gener...

A Bayesian Approach to Estimating the Selectivity of Conjunctive Predicates
: Cost-based optimizers in relational databases make use of data statistics to estimate intermediate result cardinalities. Those cardinalities are needed to estimate access plan co...
