Kolmogorov complexity and probability measures

Jan ŠindelářPavel Boček — 2002

Kybernetika

Classes of strings (infinite sequences resp.) with a specific flow of Kolmogorov complexity are introduced. Namely, lower bounds of Kolmogorov complexity are prescribed to strings (initial segments of infinite sequences resp.) of specified lengths. Dependence of probabilities of the classes on lower bounds of Kolmogorov complexity is the main theme of the paper. Conditions are found under which the probabilities of the classes of the strings are close to one. Similarly, conditions are derived under...

On unequally spaced AR(1) process

Jan ŠindelářJiří Knížek — 2003

Kybernetika

Discrete autoregressive process of the first order is considered. The process is observed at unequally spaced time instants. Both least squares estimate and maximum likelihood estimate of the autocorrelation coefficient are analyzed. We show some dangers related with the estimates when the true value of the autocorrelation coefficient is small. Monte-Carlo method is used to illustrate the problems.

Kolmogorov complexity, pseudorandom generators and statistical models testing

Jan ŠindelářPavel Boček — 2002

Kybernetika

An attempt to formalize heuristic concepts like strings (sequences resp.) “typical” for a probability measure is stated in the paper. Both generating and testing of such strings is considered. Kolmogorov complexity theory is used as a tool. Classes of strings “typical” for a given probability measure are introduced. It is shown that no pseudorandom generator can produce long strings from the classes. The time complexity of pseudorandom generators with oracles capable to recognize “typical” strings...

Stochastic control optimal in the Kullback sense

Jan ŠindelářIgor VajdaMiroslav Kárný — 2008

Kybernetika

The paper solves the problem of minimization of the Kullback divergence between a partially known and a completely known probability distribution. It considers two probability distributions of a random vector ( u 1 , x 1 , ... , u T , x T ) on a sample space of 2 T dimensions. One of the distributions is known, the other is known only partially. Namely, only the conditional probability distributions of x τ given u 1 , x 1 , ... , u τ - 1 , x τ - 1 , u τ are known for τ = 1 , ... , T . Our objective is to determine the remaining conditional probability distributions of u τ given u 1 , x 1 , ... , u τ - 1 , x τ - 1 such...
