Abstract

A Boolean function g is said to be an optimal predictor for another Boolean function f if it minimizes the probability that f(Xⁿ) = g(Y ⁿ) among all functions, where Xⁿ is uniform over the Hamming cube and Y ⁿ is obtained from Xⁿ by independently flipping each coordinate with probability δ. This paper is about self-predicting functions, which are those that coincide with their optimal predictor.
