Cosma Shalizi: "Recently, a lot of papers have been published in the physics literature where people try to use standard file-compression algorithms, particularly the gzip implementation of the Lempel-Ziv algorithm, to estimate the algorithmic information content (a.k.a. [create Kolmogorov Complexity]) of data-sources, and/or their entropy rates. These are both very bad ideas."

ah... complexity :) strangely enough, this is one area where Cosma & my own research areas quite heavily overlap... I must remember to read his blog these days! :)

it's a worthwhile experience indeed ;-)
