Streaming algorithms for products of probabilities
Markus Lohrey, Leon Rische, Louisa Seelbach Benkner, Julio Xochi · 2025-04-23 · via cs.DS updates on arXiv.org

We consider streaming algorithms for approximating a product of input probabilities up to multiplicative error of $1-ε$. It is shown that every randomized streaming algorithm for this problem needs space $Ω(\log n + \log b - \log ε) - \mathcal{O}(1)$, where $n$ is length of the input stream and $b$ is the bit length of the input numbers. This matches an upper bound from Alur et al.~up to a constant multiplicative factor. Moreover, we consider the threshold problem, where it is asked whether the product of the input probabilities is below a given threshold. It is shown that every randomized streaming algorithm for this problem needs space $Ω(n \cdot b)$.
