The constructions of Haar wavelet synopses for large datasets have proven to be useful tools for data approximation. Recently, research on constructing wavelet synopses with a guaranteed maximum error has gained attention. The goal is to find optimal synopses that minimize the approximation error under certain metrics. There are two approaches to realize this goal: size bounded and error bounded. In this paper, we provide a new algorithm for building error-bounded synopses. Our approach is based on the heuristic approach, achieving near-optimal accuracy and superior runtime performance. In addition, we provide the pruning techniques, which can greatly improve the performance of error bounded synopses construction. We then demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm through extensive experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
