Antipersistent binary time series
Richard Metzler · Journal of Physics A Mathematical and General · 2002
Completely antipersistent binary time series are sequences in which every time that an N -bit string μ appears, the sequence is continued with a different bit than that after the last occurrence of μ. This dynamics is phrased in terms of a walk on a DeBruijn graph, and properties of transients and cycles are studied. The predictability of the generated time series for an observer who sees a longer or shorter time window is investigated also for sequences that are not completely antipersistent.
