<rucknium> @bawdyanarchist:matrix.org: I found the Markov Decision Process (MDP) code for "Lay down the common metrics" and the "Publish or Perish" papers:

<rucknium> github.com/nirenzang/PoWSecurity

<rucknium> github.com/nirenzang/Publish-or-Perish

<rucknium> They use MATLAB, whose engine is closed source. But it looks like they are using MDPtoolbox, which seems to be available in open source Octave and R: nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ecog.00888

<rucknium> Probably it all could be converted to Octave (open source version of MATLAB). I can read & write MATLAB/Octave, so I could take it on.

<rucknium> On a first try, github.com/nirenzang/Publish-or-Perish seems to work fine in GNU Octave with no modifications. Takes a few minutes to run. Single-threaded and low RAM usage.

<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> Right on. I actually just emailed all authors of the Proportional Splitting paper.
