Abstract

In a previous paper, we began the study of sequence prediction algorithms adapted to stringological word complexity measures. One measure we considered was left-to-right (most-significant-digit-first) automaticity. Here, we show a statistically and computationally efficient algorithm adapted to the ``dual'' right-to-left (least-significant-digit-first) automaticity, which turns out to be substantially different for our purpose. We also demonstrate a prediction algorithm for a more expressive measure that we call ``arithmetic repetition complexity''. In particular, the latter can be used for predicting the so-called mix-automatic sequences.
