A Simple and Efficient Estimation Method for Stream Expression Cardinalities
Summary: Proposes a statistical model and a simple estimator for set-expression cardinalities over distributed streams via a continuous Flajolet–Martin sketch. For two streams, it matches MLE efficiency; with many streams, it stays simple and memory is O(delta^-2 |S|^-1 N log log N), beating prior sketches. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
