While NCD often uses ZIP or Gzip, you would investigate if the RAR format’s advanced compression and error recovery provide more accurate "distance" measurements for complex datasets compared to standard compressors. Sections: Theory of Kolmogorov Complexity and NCD.

Technical benchmarks: RAR5 vs. DEFLATE (ZIP) in clustering accuracy. While NCD often uses ZIP or Gzip, you
This paper would explore Normalized Compression Distance (NCD) , a parameter-free similarity measure used to compare objects like documents, genetic sequences, or malware. ncd.rar
