In Quantum Cognition, the mathematical formalism of Quantum Mechanics is applied to ideas. Surprisingly, this approach models idea manipulation better than, for example, fuzzy logic. However, it has been applied to individual minds up to now. In a conference paper, Daniele Vilone and Mario Paolucci present the quantum extension of…

The pattern, combining features of both user's attitude and information diffusion, is applied in the sliding…
Read more...The Detrending Moving Average (DMA) algorithm can be implemented to estimate the Shannon entropy of a long-range correlated sequence which will be shown to be of particular relevance for its significance in finance. The entropy is written as the sum of two terms corresponding respectively to power-law (ordered) and exponentially…
