Logging Every Footstep: Quantile Summaries for the Entire History
Summary: Historical quantile search: epsilon-approximate quantiles for any snapshot, enabling history-aware distribution analysis. A space lower bound separates past from present quantiles; a structure within a square-log factor of bound, with experiments showing practical accuracy. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
