A Cost Model for Similarity Queries in Metric Spaces

Summary: Cost model for range and k-NN in metric spaces estimating CPU (distance computations) and I/O for M-tree by using global distance distributions under a probabilistic homogeneity assumption. Validated empirically; enables M-tree tuning and sketched extension to vp-tree. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
