Approximate Computation of Multidimensional Aggregates of Sparse Data Using Wavelets

Summary: Wavelet-based compact data cube for sparse, high-dimensional data enables approximate OLAP aggregates. Two I/O-efficient construction algorithms; online queries require one to a few I/Os with tunable accuracy, outperforming histograms and random sampling. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
