Abstract:
This paper, based on the concept of symbolic correlation integral, introduces a set of symbolic recurrence plots and associated invariant measures, which are independent of the distance parameter, serving as a tool for quantifying the dynamic structure. These new measures allow the study of transient behavior, coexistence of attractors, bifurcations, and structural change. The final user does not have to choose the free distance parameter. An empirical application to electrocardiography data illustrates the use of symbolic recurrence measures.

Microsoft Excel: Plotting Mean, SD, and SE
First, calculate the mean, SD, and SE of your data. The mean is obtained using the formula `=AVERAGE(range)`, while SD can be calculated with `=STDEV.P(range)` for a population or `=STDEV.S(range)` for a sample. SE is calculated as `=SD/SQRT(n)`, where `n` is the sample size.
To plot these values, use a bar...
