Section 4.1 deals with the Bernoulli sequence. The predictions obtained are identical to those given by" Laplace's Rule of Succession." A particularly important technique is used to code the original sequence into a set of integers which constitute its" descriptions" for the problems of Sections 4.2 and 4.3.Section 4.2 deals with the extrapolation of a sequence in which there are certain kinds of intersymbol constraints. Codes for such sequences are devised by defining special symbols for subsequenees whose frequencies are unusually high or low. Some properties of this coding method are discussed, and they are found to be intuitively reasonable. A preliminary computer program has been written for induction using this coding method. However, there are some important simplifications used in the program, and it is uncertain as to whether it can make useful predictions.
