On the role of autocorrelations in texts
Abstract
Description
The task of finding a criterion allowing to distinguish a text from an arbitrary set of words is rather relevant in itself, for instance, in the aspect of development of means for internet-content indexing or separating signals and noise in communication channels. The Zipf law is currently considered to be the most reliable criterion of this kind [3]. At any rate, conventional stochastic word sets do not meet this law. The present paper deals with one of possible criteria based on the determination of the degree of data compression.
