Approximate Query Processing Using Wavelets

Summary: Uses multidimensional wavelet-coefficient synopses for general-purpose, high-dimensional approximate query processing. Novel algorithms execute arbitrarily complex relational queries directly in coefficient space, outperforming sampling and histograms while enabling rapid exploratory analytics.
