A Procedure for the Determination of Attribute Access Probabilities

Summary: Practical procedure to determine attribute access probabilities for storage-structure selection. Recognizes five statistic-collection biases that confound prior methods, with experimental results showing advantages over staff techniques at a medium-sized manufacturer.
