Multi-dimensional Selectivity Estimation Using Compressed Histogram Information

Summary: Multi-dimensional selectivity estimation for dependent attributes within a single relation, including multimedia feature vectors in multi-dimensional indexes. Compressed histogram information with a discrete cosine transform across many small buckets achieves low storage, low error, and update-friendly maintenance without full reconstructions.
