Abstract
Statistical calculations can take large amounts of time in a large database. Precomputed summary values
may be stored to improve access speed, but they can only cover a small fraction of the great number of sets
queriable. We suggest a compromise using some precomputed statistics together with a set of inference rules
that estimate other, unrepresented statistics in terms of the precomprrtcd ones. Such a configuration can be
constructed so as to guarantee a certain level of accuracy for a large class of calculations of simple descriptive
statistics on the database. We discuss the architecture of such a system, the kinds of rules it must contain, and
how it can be constructed and updated. We then comment on some broader implications.
