We present three algorithms to count the number of distinct elements in a data stream to within a factor of 1 ±ε. Our algorithms improve upon known algorithms for this problem, and offer a spectrum of time/space tradeoffs.

Abstract

We present three algorithms to count the number of distinct elements in a data stream to within a factor of 1 ±ε. Our algorithms improve upon known algorithms for this problem, and offer a spectrum of time/space tradeoffs.
