DCSS Guide - UV4

http://www.ultraviolent4.com/Guide.html

This would be a great Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup guide, except that I will never play DCSS again, because I hate it. It's the worst game ever and ridiculously unfair and frustrating and I will never open it again despite the fun times I've had in the past with my draconian axe-wielding fire elementalist

Resampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resampling_(statistics)#Permutation_tests

The "permutation test" enables you to look for patterns in small strings of data without introducing a bias -- instead of making a statement about whether the string's patterns are significant versus an infinite string, you instead permute the string multiple times and perform the same analysis each time. You then determine whether the original string is unusual w.r.t. its permutations. Thanks, Numberphile!

Rate vs. timing (XIII) Flavors of spike-based theories (3) Polychronization « The Brian spiking neural network simulator

http://briansimulator.org/rate-vs-timing-xiii-flavors-of-spike-based-theories-3-polychronization/

It occurs in balanced excitatory-inhibitory networks with irregular activity and standard spike-timing-dependent plasticity, and in such conditions neurons are known to be highly sensitive to coincidences. In other words, it is a particular perspective on the dynamics of such networks.

In systems which meet some self-consistency criteria, the appropriate action can be modeled using a utility function which assigns points to each possible action. In such a system the rational thing to do is to choose the action with the highest utility value.
