Database Evaluation Using Multiple Regression Techniques

Summary: Zipfian modeling of inverted files for database evaluation; estimates minimum storage and predicts access time via regression. Uses log transforms and regression to fit the model, yielding a framework for evaluating DB designs from Zipf parameters. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
