How to Evaluate Multiple Range-Sum Queries Progressively

Summary: Wavelet-based technique for progressive evaluation of batched range-sum queries that exploits I/O sharing to deliver early estimates. Introduces structural-error penalty functions to control error profiles; exact, I/O-efficient, accurate even with <1 I/O/query. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
