The aggregation and estimation of values over networks is fundamental for distributed applications, such as wireless sensor networks. Estimating the average, minimal and maximal values has already been extensively studied in the literature. In this paper, we focus on estimating empirical distributions of values in a network with anonymous agents. In particular, we compare two different estimation strategies in terms of their convergence speed, accuracy and communication costs. The first strategy is deterministic and based on the average consensus protocol, while the second strategy is probabilistic and based on the max consensus protocol.
