National antibiotic consumption is strongly related to the prevalence of antibiotic resistance across bacterial clades by Stilianos Louca

“…I find that depending on country and ARG type, ARG prevalences can be extremely high; for example, the probability that a given quinolone resistance gene is present in a given strain in Thailand was estimated at 42%. Further, I find strong positive correlations between nationwide antibiotic consumption rates and mean ARG prevalences for nearly all ARG types. …”

A Computable Measure of Algorithmic Probability by Finite Approximations with an Application to Integer Sequences by Fernando Soler-Toscano, Hector Zenil

“…We provide proofs of the relevant properties of both m and mk and compare them to Levin’s Universal Distribution. We provide error estimations of mk with respect to m. Finally, we present an application to integer sequences from the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, which suggests that our AP-based measures may characterize nonstatistical patterns, and we report interesting correlations with textual, function, and program description lengths of the said sequences.…”
