Abstract: . We analyze the storage/accuracy trade--off of an adaptive sampling
algorithm due to Wegman that makes it possible to evaluate probabilistically the
number of distinct elements in a large file stored on disk.
1 Introduction
A problem that naturally arises in query optimization of data base systems
[1] is to estimate the number of distinct elements (also called cardinality) of
a large collection of data with unpredictable replications. The trivial solution
that consists in building a list of... (Update)
