Welcome to the LotteryPrediction wiki!

User Story:

Given: a single time series, perhaps a very long one, from a stochastic process which is basically unknown; perhaps merely that it is stationary and ergodic.

Desired: a forecast which will converge on the best possible forecast, as the series becomes longer and longer. Or: the best possible forecast from within a fixed class of forecasting algorithms.

A solution is called a universal prediction algorithm because it applied equally to all the processes within the class, and is not tailored to any one of them.
