Cross Recurrence Plot Toolbox v5.28 (R37)

CRP Toolbox

Last version: v5.28 (R37) Last revision: 05-Sep-2023 16:18:11

General Information

The toolbox contains MATLAB® routines for computing recurrence plots and solving related problems (e.g., phasespace reconstruction). It includes extended recurrence quantification (Marwan et al., Phys. Rev. E, 2002), recurrence network measures (Marwan et al., Phys. Lett. A, 2009), cross recurrence plots (Marwan & Kurths, Phys. Lett. A, 2002; Marwan et al., Nonlin. Proc. Geophys., 2002), and joint recurrence plots (Romano et al., Phys. Lett. A, 2004).

Most functions come with a user-friendly graphical user interface, however, a pure command-line application of the programmes is also possible.

Parameters in [ ] are optional.

Starting with Release R2014b, MATLAB contains significant changes in its graphical engine causing some problems for running the CRP Toolbox in the newer MATLAB versions. We have tried to fix several serious issues that might be mainly compatible to the MATLAB releases starting with R2014b. However, due to a new but less efficient handling of objects within MATLAB R2014b, the speed of some functions of the CRP Toolbox are lowered by a factor up to 10(!). We have not yet found a good solution to speed up the code (the problem is not the implementation of the CRP Toolbox but in some MATLAB internal functions related to the object handling).

Requirements

This toolbox requires MATLAB 7 (MATLAB 2007) or newer.
