Fast Range-Summable Random Variables for Efficient Aggregate Estimation

Summary: Investigates range-summable 3- and 4-wise PRNGs for sketch-based aggregates; compares schemes, provides 3-wise implementations. Shows extended Hamming (3-wise) matches 4-wise AMS-sketch join-size performance, improving spatial-join size estimates. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
