+complexity for short strings, an approximation of the Kolmogorov Complexity of
+a short string using the coding theorem method.  While the database containing
+the complexity is provided in the data only package @code{acss.data}, this
+package provides functions accessing the data such as @code{prob_random}
+returning the posterior probability that a given string was produced by a
+random process.  In addition, two traditional (but problematic) measures of
+complexity are also provided: entropy and change complexity.")
