Making Aggregation Work in Uncertain and Probabilistic Databases
2011
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering
We describe how aggregation is handled in the Trio system for uncertain and probabilistic data. Because "exact" aggregation in uncertain databases can produce exponentially-sized results, we provide three alternatives: a low bound on the aggregate value, a high bound on the value, and the expected value. These variants return a single result instead of a set of possible results, and they are generally efficient to compute for both full-table and grouped aggregation queries. We provide formal
