MITRE Data Sets
To access the data please contact Juniper. Here is a PDF that explains the datasets and gives some sample challenge questions. MITRE DATA PDF
Death in physical, biological and social systems
Firms, nation states, human beings and stars all die. Do the causes of "death" in physical, biological and social systems have something in common? If yes, what is it?
Fractal-like structures in economic data
Several economic time series (like the S&P 500 index) have fractal-like structures, i.e. they look the same at many time scales. What explains these time invariant structures in economic data? The mechanisms that produce these structures may have something to do with the generation to novelty and adaptation to it. And in this sense maybe related to dynamics of evolution of species.
