* The Wilson norm is the sum of prime factors (with repetition). That gives <math>\text{Wilson}\left(\tfrac{15}{8}\right) = 5 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14</math>.

I have also included Euler's ''gradus suavitatis'',<ref>Leonhard Euler (1739) ''Tentamen novae theoriae musicae'' (Attempt at a New Theory of Music), St. Petersburg.</ref> which is probably the first complexity measure historically.

It is somewhat similar to the Wilson norm, in that it depends on the prime factorization.

Given ''s'', the sum of prime factors, and ''n'' the number of prime factors, Euler's gradus function is {{nowrap|''s'' - ''n'' + 1}}.

First proposed by [[Helmholtz]], these models are quite popular in the psychoacoustics literature, and many variations have been developed over the years.

Here, I will use the classic roughness curve as derived by Plomp and Levelt in 1965.<ref>R. Plomp, W. J. M. Levelt (1965) [https://doi.org/10.1121/1.1909741 ''Tonal Consonance and Critical Bandwidth'']. J. Acoust. Soc. Am.</ref>

<ref group="note">This model does not take into account the amplitude of the partials. One may object that we should weight the contribution of beating according to the amplitude of the harmonics (i.e. 1/''n'') but this only makes the model worse (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.652).</ref>
