<h1>Theta Sketch<a class="headerlink" href="#theta-sketch" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p>The <em>Theta Sketch</em> sketch is a space-efficient method for estimating cardinalities of sets.
It can also easily handle set operations (such as union, intersection, difference) while maintaining good accuarcy.</p>
