Approximating and testing k-histogram distributions in sub-linear time

A discrete distribution p, over [n], is a k histogram if its probability distribution function can be represented as a piece-wise constant function with k pieces. Such a function is represented by a list of k intervals and k corresponding values. We consider the following problem: given a collection...
