Wavelet-Based Histograms for Selectivity Estimation

Summary: Wavelet-based histograms built via multiresolution decomposition on cumulative distributions for compact selectivity estimation. Online construction and joint distributions yield fast approximate answers, outperforming sampling and prior methods for OLAP queries. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
