14:54:17 <br-m> <rucknium> @bawdyanarchist:matrix.org: I found the Markov Decision Process (MDP) code for "Lay down the common metrics" and the "Publish or Perish" papers:
14:54:17 <br-m> <rucknium> https://github.com/nirenzang/PoWSecurity
14:54:17 <br-m> <rucknium> https://github.com/nirenzang/Publish-or-Perish
14:55:16 <br-m> <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: https://nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ecog.00888
14:56:17 <br-m> <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.
17:07:08 <br-m> <rucknium> On a first try, https://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.
19:14:09 <br-m> <bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> Right on. I actually just emailed all authors of the Proportional Splitting paper.
