Data Sketches for Disaggregated Subset Sum and Frequent Item Estimation

Summary: A sketch for disaggregated subset sum and heavy-hitter estimation, unbiased, high-accuracy sums under arbitrary filters. i.i.d. data: consistent heavy-hitter proportions; non-iid: outperforms uniform sampling, rivals priority sampling, with distributed extensions.
