https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence%20quantification%20analysis | Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) is a method of nonlinear data analysis (cf. chaos theory) for the investigation of dynamical systems. It quantifies the number and duration of recurrences of a dynamical system presented by its phase space trajectory.
Background
The recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) was ... |
