ABSTRACT
Ω are inextricably linked quantifi ers. In the evaluating them, the determination of the probability distribution P associated to the dynamical system or time series under study is the basic ingredient. Many procedures have been proposed for the election of Ω∈P . We can mention techniques based on symbolic dynamics [7]. Fourier analysis [8], and wavelet transform [9] (among others). The applicability of these approaches depends on the datacharacteristics, i.e., stationarity, length of the series, parameter-variations, levels of noisecontamination, etc. The distinct treatments at hand “capture” the global aspects of the dynamics, but they are not equivalent in their ability to discern physical details. However, one should recognize that we are here referring to techniques defi ned in an ad-hoc fashion, not derived directly from the dynamical properties of the pertinent system themselves.
