Information Theory and Predictability Lecture 8: Statistical Predictability
In the following lectures we shall develop and explore a general theoretical framework derived from information theory to study practical dynamical prediction from the viewpoint of analyzing the time flow of uncertainty. Here we review the practical aspects of this problem. There are two important dynamical systems which have convincingly demonstrated practical predictability. The first is the ...
متن کاملInformation Theory and Dynamical System Predictability
Predicting the future state of a turbulent dynamical system such as the atmosphere has been recognized for several decades to be an essentially statistical undertaking: Uncertainties from a variety of sources are magnified by dynamical mechanisms and given sufficient time, compromise any prediction. In the last decade or so this process of uncertainty evolution has been studied using a variety ...
متن کاملVisualizing I/O Predictability
We propose a novel method to study storage system predictability based on the visualization of file successor entropy, a form of conditional entropy drawn from a file access trace. First-order conditional entropy can be used as a measure o f predictability. It is superior to the more common measures such as independent likelihood of data access. For file access data, we developed a visualizatio...
متن کاملInformation-theoretic measures of predictability for music content analysis
This thesis is concerned with determining similarity in musical audio, for the purpose of applications in music content analysis. With the aim of determining similarity, we consider the problem of representing temporal structure in music. To represent temporal structure, we propose to compute information-theoretic measures of predictability in sequences. We apply our measures to track-wise repr...
متن کاملInformation theory, predictability and the emergence of complex life
Despite the obvious advantage of simple life forms capable of fast replication, different levels of cognitive complexity have been achieved by living systems in terms of their potential to cope with environmental uncertainty. Against the inevitable cost associated with detecting environmental cues and responding to them in adaptive ways, we conjecture that the potential for predicting the envir...
