Abstract:The Lempel-Ziv algorithm is not fully suitable for measuring the complexity of short series. When the Lempel-Ziv algorithm is applied, the assumption that the sequence must be long enough is always ignored: the series length is usually too large, and the equi-probability assumption also is not considered in some papers. Based on these facts, the universal algorithm of trial and error is presented when the conditions of different sequence lengths and different symbol probabilities are comprehensively considered… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
