Corrigendum: Are Few Bins Enough: Testing Histogram Distributions
Summary: Corrigendum to PODS'16 'Are Few Bins Enough' identifying a flaw in the analysis of its histogram-distribution tester. The claimed sample complexity O~(√n/ε^2 + k/ε^3) is incorrect and must be rederived. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
