Ciao Scarlet, effettivamente ho fatto io la traduzione in Italiano di SpeedCrunch tanti anni fa. Non ho idea se ho tradotto anche quella parola o meno, certo che se sono stato io meriterei di essere espulso dal paese dove sono residente :)
Lo sviluppo di SpeedCrunch credo sia fermo da alcuni anni, non saprei chi contattare per la correzione.

Buongiorno ,
non so se sia proprio lei uno dei realizzatori dell’applicazione SpeedCrunch che ho scaricato e che uso con soddisfazione, per l a quale ringrazio sentitamente.
Però mi ha fatto un po ridere la traduzione “nederlandese” in italiano, nella menubar/Aiuti/Informazioni su.
Non è meglio olandese?
Buon Natale, saluti Scarlet

Hey epokh.

The code was especially designed to be 100% compatible (in a black box kind of way) with an old C+Java code that was a BSc thesis, so not offer many functionalities; for example I designed it at first to deal with words of a user defined size but it wasn’t useful for the Professor’s goal so I removed the thing, but I’m sure it can be easily reintroduced.
For the rest it simply does what is wrote on that page, you can give it a file with some samples (the original application was designed for medical samples) and it evaluate the desired function, it works with a finite stream.
By the way today, reading your comment, I get interested again in this “old” (?) code and if can be useful for something I would like to add functionalities or make it a library (it would be easy, is designed not perfectly but not so bad still).

Ciao :)

Hey, I haven’t seen the code but are you using a biased or unbiased estimation?
Can I also choose the word size of the stream to encode?
Can I also estimate the sublinear and extensive entropy?
I work quite a lot with entropy estimation and I wrote my functions but I also use Matlab.
Cheerz.
