Moving from left-deep tree to a Bushy tree is a challenge as the number of possible structures in bushy trees are much larger. Left-deep trees have only one structure regardless of the number of attributes involved. Therefor the number of possible permutations are N! . But for bushy trees possible number of structures are given by   $$ S(N) = 1 if $N = 1 $ \\   S(N) = $\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n}$ \sum_{N=1}^{i} \(N){N-i}$  if N > 1 $$\\ Therefore the number of possible permutations are $S(N)*N!$. Unlike left-deep tree case, estimating the cost for all the possible bushy trees is computationally infeasible for moderately large N. Therefore it is required to come with a heuristic to select set of permutations for cost computations.Some heuristics considered are
