Computing All Skyline Probabilities for Uncertain Data

Summary: First worst-case sub-quadratic algorithm to compute skyline probabilities for all tuples in uncertain databases, removing reliance on thresholding so low-probability but consequential items are preserved. Uses space-partitioning plus dominance-counting as core techniques; experimentally validated. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
