The relationship x precedes y is written x≺y. The relation x precedes or is equal to y is written x<=y.

An operator in logic which returns either true or false.

Predictability at a time tau in the future is defined by (R(x(t),x(t+tau)))/(H(x(t))), and linear predictability by (L(x(t),x(t+tau)))/(H(x(t))), where R and L are the ...
