Probabilistic Skylines on Uncertain Data

Summary: Proposes probabilistic skyline for uncertain data: objects have skyline probabilities; p-skyline contains objects with prob ≥ p. Two scalable algorithms: bottom-up uses a few selected instances to prune others, while top-down partitions instances for aggressive pruning; experiments on NBA and synthetic data demonstrate efficiency and complementary behavior.
