Abstract

Statistical calculations can take large amounts of time in a large database. Precomputed summary values may be stored to improve access speed, but they can only cover a small fraction of the great number of sets queriable. We suggest a compromise using some precomputed statistics together with a set of inference rules that estimate other, unrepresented statistics in terms of the precomprrtcd ones. Such a configuration can be constructed so as to guarantee a certain level of accuracy for a large class of calculations of simple descriptive statistics on the database. We discuss the architecture of such a system, the kinds of rules it must contain, and how it can be constructed and updated. We then comment on some broader implications.
