Selectivity Estimation Without the Attribute Value Independence Assumption

Summary: Selectivity estimation without attribute independence: joint frequencies drive results; per-attribute histograms are inaccurate. Proposes two options: (a) multi-d histogram, (b) SVD-based joint modeling; experiments compare accuracy vs independence. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
