Metadata received from each worker computing device describes EDF estimates for samples of marginal variables stored on each respective worker computing device. Combinations of the EDF estimates are enumerated and assigned to each worker computing device based on the metadata. A request to compute outcome expectation measure values for an outcome expectation measure is initiated to each worker computing device based on the assigned combinations. The outcome expectation measure values computed by each worker computing device are received from each respective worker computing device. The received outcome expectation measure values are accumulated for the outcome expectation measure. A mean value and a standard deviation value are computed for the outcome expectation measure from the accumulated, received outcome expectation measure values. The computed mean and standard deviation values for the outcome expectation measure are output to represent an expected outcome based on the marginal variables.
