Explaining differences in multidimensional aggregates

Summary: Proposes a single OLAP operator that yields summarized reasons for changes in aggregated multidimensional data, replacing manual drill-downs. Uses an information-theoretic, one-pass dynamic-programming approach with low memory, enabling interactive explanations in OLAP (DB2/UDB prototype). (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
