Estimating entropy of distributions in constant space

We consider the task of estimating the entropy of k-ary distributions from samples in the streaming model, where space is limited. Our main contribution is an algorithm that requires O ( klog(1"3/")2 ) samples and a constant O(1) memory words of space and outputs a ±" estimate of H(p)...
