The expressions are complicated, and they are certainly not linear as
you seem to think from your previous post.

What do you need this for? If your goal is to optimize a real
application, then you should just vary the cost parameters and measure
the resulting change in query times. If your interests are academic,
there were some excellent suggestions for places to start in response
to your previous post.
