Noise robust estimates of correlation dimension and K2 entropy

Abstract:
Using Gaussian kernels to define the correlation sum we derive simple formulas that correct the noise bias in estimates of the correlation dimension and K2 entropy of chaotic time series. The corrections are only based on the difference of correlation dimensions for adjacent embedding dimensions and hence preserve the full functional dependencies on both the scale parameter and embedding dimension. It is shown theoretically that the estimates, which are derived for additive white Gaussian noise, are also robust for moderately colored noise. Simulations underline the usefulness of the proposed correction schemes. It is demonstrated that the method gives satisfactory results also for non-Gaussian and dynamical noise.

Coefficient of Correlation
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the strength of the linear...
Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The relation between entropy and disorder can be illustrated with the example of the phase change of ice to water. In ice, the molecules are located at specific sites giving a solid state, whereas, in a liquid form, these molecules are much freer to move. The molecular arrangement has therefore become more randomized. Although the change in average...
