Improved Concentration Bounds for Count-Sketch
Gregory T. Minton, Eric Price · 2012-07-22 · via cs.DS updates on arXiv.org

We present a refined analysis of the classic Count-Sketch streaming heavy hitters algorithm [CCF02]. Count-Sketch uses O(k log n) linear measurements of a vector x in R^n to give an estimate x' of x. The standard analysis shows that this estimate x' satisfies ||x'-x||_infty^2 < ||x_tail||_2^2 / k, where x_tail is the vector containing all but the largest k coordinates of x. Our main result is that most of the coordinates of x' have substantially less error than this upper bound; namely, for any c < O(log n), we show that each coordinate i satisfies (x'_i - x_i)^2 < (c/log n) ||x_tail||_2^2/k with probability 1-2^{-Omega(c)}, as long as the hash functions are fully independent. This subsumes the previous bound and is optimal for all c. Using these improved point estimates, we prove a stronger concentration result for set estimates by first analyzing the covariance matrix and then using a median-of-median-of-medians argument to bootstrap the failure probability bounds. These results also give improved results for l_2 recovery of exactly k-sparse estimates x^* when x is drawn from a distribution with suitable decay, such as a power law or lognormal. We complement our results with simulations of Count-Sketch on a power law distribution. The empirical evidence indicates that our theoretical bounds give a precise characterization of the algorithm's performance: the asymptotics are correct and the associated constants are small. Our proof shows that any symmetric random variable with finite variance and positive Fourier transform concentrates around 0 at least as well as a Gaussian. This result, which may be of independent interest, gives good concentration even when the noise does not converge to a Gaussian.
