Measuring the complexity of the law: the United States Code

DM Katz, MJ Bommarito - Artificial intelligence and law, 2014 - Springer
Einstein's razor, a corollary of Ockham's razor, is often paraphrased as follows: make
everything as simple as possible, but not simpler. This rule of thumb describes the challenge …

Long-term global availability of food: continued abundance or new scarcity?

NBJ Koning, MK Van Ittersum, GA Becx… - … Journal of Life …, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
During the 20th century hunger has become a problem of poverty amidst plenty rather than
absolute food scarcity. The question is whether this will remain so or whether the hunger of …

Complexity analysis of the turbulent environmental fluid flow time series

R Stoop, C Wagner - International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2007 - World Scientific
It is experimental evidence that biological neocortical neurons are arranged in a columnar
clustered architecture and coupled according to a bi-power law connection probability …

Entropic descriptor of a complex behaviour

R Piasecki, A Plastino - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its …, 2010 - Elsevier
We propose a new type of entropic descriptor that is able to quantify the statistical complexity
(a measure of complex behaviour) by taking simultaneously into account the average …

Clustering: how much bias do we need?

T Lorimer, J Held, R Stoop - … Transactions of the Royal …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org

Complexity analysis of riverflow time series

AK Sen - Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk …, 2009 - Springer
I have used the Lempel–Ziv measure to assess the complexity in riverflow activity over
England and Wales for the period 1867–2002. In particular, I have examined the …

Natural computation measured as a reduction of complexity

R Stoop, N Stoop - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear …, 2004 - pubs.aip.org
The bee is a classical example of a natural system that performs efficient perception tasks
