Abstract

We propose a new inductive principle, which we call the complexity approximation principle (CAP). This principle is a natural generalization of Rissanen’s minimum description length (MDL) principle and Wallace’s minimum message length (MML) principle and is based on the notion of predictive complexity, a recent generalization of Kolmogorov complexity. Like the MDL principle, CAP can be regarded as an implementation of Occam’s razor.
