A new form of optimality for comparison based static dictionaries is introduced. This type of optimality, keyindependent optimality, is motivated by applications that assign key v...

Competitive on-line prediction (also known as universal prediction of individual sequences) is a strand of learning theory avoiding making any stochastic assumptions about the way...
