We present an algorithm for computing $F_p$, the $p$th moment of an $n$-dimensional frequency vector of a data stream, for $2 < p < \log (n) $, to within $1\pm \epsilon$ factors, $\epsilon \in [n^{-1/p},1]$ with high constant probability.…
For each $p \in (0,2]$, we present a randomized algorithm that returns an $\epsilon$-approximation of the $p$th frequency moment of a data stream $F_p = \sum_{i = 1}^n \abs{f_i}^p$. The algorithm requires space $O(\epsilon^{-2} \log…
We revisit one of the classic problems in the data stream literature, namely, that of estimating the frequency moments $F_p$ for $0 < p < 2$ of an underlying $n$-dimensional vector presented as a sequence of additive updates in a stream. It…
We study the classical problem of moment estimation of an underlying vector whose $n$ coordinates are implicitly defined through a series of updates in a data stream. We show that if the updates to the vector arrive in the random-order…
We show an improved lower bound for the Fp estimation problem in a data stream setting for p>2. A data stream is a sequence of items from the domain [n] with possible repetitions. The frequency vector x is an n-dimensional non-negative…
The problem of estimating the pth moment F_p (p nonnegative and real) in data streams is as follows. There is a vector x which starts at 0, and many updates of the form x_i <-- x_i + v come sequentially in a stream. The algorithm also…
Given data stream $D = \{p_1,p_2,...,p_m\}$ of size $m$ of numbers from $\{1,..., n\}$, the frequency of $i$ is defined as $f_i = |\{j: p_j = i\}|$. The $k$-th \emph{frequency moment} of $D$ is defined as $F_k = \sum_{i=1}^n f_i^k$. We…
Estimating the first moment of a data stream defined as $F_1 = \sum_{i \in \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}} \abs{f_i}$ to within $1 \pm \epsilon$-relative error with high probability is a basic and influential problem in data stream processing. A tight…
We present a randomized algorithm for estimating the $p$th moment $F_p$ of the frequency vector of a data stream in the general update (turnstile) model to within a multiplicative factor of $1 \pm \epsilon$, for $p > 2$, with high constant…
We propose a novel framework for statistical estimation on noisy datasets. Within this framework, we focus on the frequency moments ($F_p$) problem and demonstrate that it is possible to approximate $F_p$ of the unknown ground-truth dataset…
In this paper we consider the problem of approximating frequency moments in the streaming model. Given a stream $D = \{p_1,p_2,\dots,p_m\}$ of numbers from $\{1,\dots, n\}$, a frequency of $i$ is defined as $f_i = |\{j: p_j = i\}|$. The…
In insertion-only streaming, one sees a sequence of indices $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_m\in [n]$. The stream defines a sequence of $m$ frequency vectors $x^{(1)},\ldots,x^{(m)}\in\mathbb{R}^n$ with $(x^{(t)})_i = |\{j : j\in[t], a_j = i\}|$. That…
We study $\ell_p$ sampling and frequency moment estimation in a single-pass insertion-only data stream. For $p \in (0,2)$, we present a nearly space-optimal approximate $\ell_p$ sampler that uses $\widetilde{O}(\log n \log(1/\delta))$ bits…
Given a stream with frequencies $f_d$, for $d\in[n]$, we characterize the space necessary for approximating the frequency negative moments $F_p=\sum |f_d|^p$, where $p<0$ and the sum is taken over all items $d\in[n]$ with nonzero frequency,…
The efficient estimation of frequency moments of a data stream in one-pass using limited space and time per item is one of the most fundamental problem in data stream processing. An especially important estimation is to find the number of…
We give a space-optimal algorithm with update time O(log^2(1/eps)loglog(1/eps)) for (1+eps)-approximating the pth frequency moment, 0 < p < 2, of a length-n vector updated in a data stream. This provides a nearly exponential improvement in…
A technique introduced by Indyk and Woodruff [STOC 2005] has inspired several recent advances in data-stream algorithms. We show that a number of these results follow easily from the application of a single probabilistic method called…
In a ground-breaking paper, Indyk and Woodruff (STOC 05) showed how to compute $F_k$ (for $k>2$) in space complexity $O(\mbox{\em poly-log}(n,m)\cdot n^{1-\frac2k})$, which is optimal up to (large) poly-logarithmic factors in $n$ and $m$,…
We study the general problem of computing frequency-based functions, i.e., the sum of any given function of data stream frequencies. Special cases include fundamental data stream problems such as computing the number of distinct elements…
Counting is among the most fundamental operations in computing. For example, counting the pth frequency moment has been a very active area of research, in theoretical computer science, databases, and data mining. When p=1, the task (i.e.,…
