Topology, Convergence, and Reconstruction of Predictive States
预测状态的拓扑、收敛与重建
Predictive equivalence in discrete stochastic processes have been applied with great success to identify randomness and structure in statistical physics and chaotic dynamical systems and to inferring hidden Markov models. We examine the conditions under which they can be reliably reconstructed from time-series data, showing that convergence of predictive states can be achieved from empirical samples in the weak topology of measures. Moreover, predictive states may be…
