    Abstract

    Optimal histograms are computed for hierarchical range queries. It is shown that optimal histograms for equality queries are sub-optimal for hierarchical range queries. Polynomial time, dynamic programming algorithms are presented for computing optimal histograms that would provably minimize expected error for a given amount of space. The algorithm for the case of one-sided ranges is proved to be as efficient in running time as the V-optimal algorithm, which computes optimal histograms for equality series.
