Erratum for: Approximating and Testing k-Histogram Distributions in Sub-linear Time
Summary: Erratum to PODS'12: corrects Theorem 2's time bound from Õ((k/ε)^2 ln n) to Õ((k^5/ε^4) ln^2 n) while leaving sample complexity unchanged (still Õ((k/ε)^2 ln n)). Error traced to iteration count in Step (7); corrected proof posted as ECCC TR11-171 Rev.1. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
