| abstract: |
We introduce a new class of algorithms to estimate the
cardinality of very large multisets using constant memory
and doing only one pass on the data. It is based on order
statistics rather that on bit patterns in binary
representations of numbers. We analyse three families of
estimators. They attain a standard error of
1/√
using
M
M
units of storage, which places them in the same class
as the best known algorithms so far. They have a very
simple internal loop, which gives them an advantage in term
of processing speed. The algorithms are validated on
internet traffic traces.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.
Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
