Statistical Physics and the Fundamentals of Minimum Description Length and Minimum Message Length

Scientific Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Physics - Other, grade: A 4.00, , course: Statistical Physics, language: English, abstract: The use of algorithmic complexity in compressing a random binary sequential string is used to redefine a measure of ''randomness'' found using both Minimum Description Length, MDL, and Minimum Message Length, MML, that changes the very nature of thier measures of a binary sequential string. The ''compressible'' random binary sequential string was discovered in 1998 by the author and this is the first application to both MDL and MML.
