Let us look at a simple example, we look at a large collection of XML documents, and found in 25%, the ordering of the nodes is A C in 50%, the ordering of the nodes is A B C in 25%, the ordering of the nodes is A B B C Someone study that and says, the schema is equivalent to AB{0,2}C, completely ignoring the probability distribution. Another person study that and says, the state transition matrix is AC=1/4, AB=3/4, BC=2/3 and BB=1/3. Would you rather have the schema or the state transition matrix? In fact, base on the matrix, ABBBC can occur with a probability better than 5%. ===== Ed Lai data_mechanic@y... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
