On the Sample Complexity of Compressed Counting
Abstract: Compressed Counting (CC), based on maximally skewed stable random projections, was recently proposed for estimating the p-th frequency moments of data streams. The case p->1 is extremely useful for estimating Shannon entropy of data streams. In this study, we provide a very simple algorithm based on the sample minimum estimator and prove a much improved sample complexity bound, compared to prior results.
