I took a class in adaptive control systems and one of the configurations it can
take is adaptive predictive control.  I'm wondering - since noise would be
completely unpredictable and a simple sine wave would be perfectly predictable,
would a predictor be like a pattern detector; the more of a pattern, or
information, in a signal, the more predictable it is?  Or - would the error
signal of a predictor be a measure of the entropy of a signal?

Thanks.
