Comment on "Inferring Statistical Complexity"
Abstract
Nearly 30 years ago, J.P. Crutchfield and K. Young proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 63, 105 (1989) some supposedly novel measures of time series complexity, and their relations to existing concepts in nonlinear dynamical systems. At that time it seemed that the multiple faults of this paper would make it obsolete soon. Since this has not happened, and these faults still infest the literature on what is now called "computational mechanics", I want here to rectify the situation.
