Figure 2.

Confidence intervals for values for Noninvertible, Dissipative, Conservative and Schuster Chaotic Maps.

The values were obtained following the methodology proposed by Lacasa et al.. Symmetric confidence intervals at the confidence level were obtained for the parameter assuming the Gaussian model, a linear structure for the regression and independent zero-mean errors. The horizontal line represents the value of corresponding to white noise (uncorrelated stochastic dynamics). The list of names for each map is the same given in Sec.. Full circles (blue) are in agreement with Lacassa and Toral [36] proposal rule. Empty circles (red) not.

Figure 3.

Parameter values of HVG-PDF for fBm, fGn and noise with power spectrum time series with total length of data.

The values were obtained following the methodology proposed by Lacasa et al.: from the graph versus , the parameter was computed by adjusting using the least square method, a straight line being its slope. The linear scaling region considered in all cases is , or (if ). Symmetric confidence intervals at the confidence level were obtained for the parameter assuming the Gaussian model, a linear structure for the regression and independent zero-mean errors. The horizontal line represents the value of corresponding to white noise (uncorrelated stochastic dynamics) Full circles (blue) are in agreement with Lacassa and Toral [36] proposal rule. Empty circles (red) not.

-value determination: examples of analyzed dynamical systems where a good linear scaling region was found.

For the Holmes cubic map (), however, even having a good fitting, the -value obtained is greater than which not satisfied the chaotic distinction suggested by Lacasa and Toral [36]. In all cases, time series with are considered, and linear scaling regions are defined by for chaotic and for stochastic time series.

Cases with bad -value determination: a) Cusp map and Schuster map with , the associated HVG-PDF present heavy tail making difficult to define an unique linear scaling zone representative of all the data.

b) Tinkerbell map (Y) and the Burger’s map (X) for which it is impossible to define an unique linear scaling zone, and in consequence the hypothesis of an exponential behavior cannot be confirmed. Time series with data are considered.
