Predictability

Predictability at a time $\tau$ in the future is defined by

\begin{displaymath}
{R(x(t), x(t+\tau))\over H(x(t))},
\end{displaymath}

and linear predictability by

\begin{displaymath}
{L(x(t), x(t+\tau))\over H(x(t))},
\end{displaymath}

where $R$ and $L$ are the Redundancy and Linear Redundancy, and $H$ is the Entropy.
