Communicating extraterrestrial intelligence (CETI) interaction models based on the Drake Equation
Reginald D. Smith
The Drake Equation has proven fertile ground for speculation about the abundance, or lack thereof, of communicating extraterrestrial intelligences (CETIs) for decades. It has been…
An improved estimate of the inverse binary entropy function
Reginald D. Smith
Two estimates for the inverse binary entropy function are derived using the property of information entropy to estimate combinatorics of sequences as well as related formulas from…
Bitcoin Average Dormancy: A Measure of Turnover and Trading Activity
Reginald D. Smith
Attempts to accurately measure the monetary velocity or related properties of bitcoin used in transactions have often attempted to either directly apply definitions from traditiona…
A Mutual Information Approach to Calculating Nonlinearity
Reginald D. Smith
A new method to measure nonlinear dependence between two variables is described using mutual information to analyze the separate linear and nonlinear components of dependence. This…
A rapid algorithm to calculate joint probability matrices for joint entropies of arbitrary order
Reginald D. Smith
There is no closed form analytical equation or quick method to calculate probabilities based only on the entropy of a signal or process. Except in the cases where there are constra…
Malware "Ecology" Viewed as Ecological Succession: Historical Trends and Future Prospects
Reginald D. Smith
The development and evolution of malware including computer viruses, worms, and trojan horses, is shown to be closely analogous to the process of community succession long recogniz…
