Abstract:This work derives a theoretical value for the entropy of a Linear Additive Markov Process (LAMP), an expressive but simple model able to generate sequences with a given autocorrelation structure. Our research establishes that the theoretical entropy rate of a LAMP model is equivalent to the theoretical entropy rate of the underlying first-order Markov Chain. The LAMP model captures complex relationships and long-range dependencies in data with similar expressibility to a higher-order Markov process. While a hi… Show more
