Exact nonparametric inference for detection of nonlinear determinism
Xiaodong Luo, Jie Zhang, Michael Small +1
We propose an exact nonparametric inference scheme for the detection of nonlinear determinism. The essential fact utilized in our scheme is that, for a linear stochastic process wi…
Surrogate Test to Distinguish between Chaotic and Pseudoperiodic Time Series
Xiaodong Luo, Tomomichi Nakamura, Michael Small
In this communication a new algorithm is proposed to produce surrogates for pseudoperiodic time series. By imposing a few constraints on the noise components of pseudoperiodic data…
Plausible models for propagation of the SARS virus
Michael Small, Pengliang Shi, Chi Kong Tse
Using daily infection data for Hong Kong we explore the validity of a variety of models of disease propagation when applied to the SARS epidemic. Surrogate data methods show that s…
Modelling of SARS for Hong Kong
Pengliang Shi, Michael Small
A simplified susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) epidemic model and a small-world model are applied to analyse the spread and control of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) f…
Geometric measures of redundance and irrelevance tradeoff exponent to choose suitable delay times for continuous systems
Xiaodong Luo, Michael Small
Using the concept of the geometric measures of redundance and irrelevance tradeoff exponent (RITE)}, we present a new method to determine suitable delay times for continuous system…
Optimal time delay embedding for nonlinear time series modeling
Michael Small
When building linear or nonlinear models one is faced with the problem of selecting the best set of variable with which to predict the future dynamics. In nonlinear time series ana…
