Hamilton wants us to review. The quick summary here is that the authors use the minimum variance form of what a maximum entropy channel analysis would do. They find state changes, oil production changes rank during stress.
How would I do it? Obtain the real oil prices that the authors use, run them through the adaptive Huffman encoder and watch the Huffman tree morph. The Huffman encoder tree should perform as the dual of the real oil distribution network.
The author's research uses the real price of oil compiled by BP statistics. We would like to get back the actual list of oil transactions if they were not lost over time.
Why do I go back to the adaptive Huffman encoder? Because it is an easily available entropy tester which undergraduates can get a hold of and use.
