Abstract

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