The twin themes of computational complexity and information pervade this book. It starts with an introduction to information-based complexity, that is, the comp

No statistical model is "true" or "false," "right" or "wrong"; the models just have varying performance, which can be assessed. The main theme in this book is t

The means and ends of information theory and computational complexity have grown significantly closer over the past decade. Common analytic tools, such as combi

Briefly, we review the basic elements of computability theory and prob ability theory that are required. Finally, in order to place the subject in the appropria

This book has emerged from a meeting held during the week of May 29 to June 2, 1989, at St. John’s College in Santa Fe under the auspices of the Santa Fe Inst
