Cross Recurrence Plot Toolbox v5.29 (R38)

CRP Toolbox

rpde

Computes the recurrence time entropy.

Syntax

y=rpde(x)
y=rpde(x,...)

Description

y=rpde(x) calculates the normalised entropy y of the recurrence time distribution of time series x, also known as recurrence period density entropy (RPDE).

Note

In contrast to the calculation of RPDE here, in crqa a Theiler window is applied to the RP by default, resulting in different RPDE values. For comparison, you should ensure that the Theiler window in crqa is set to 0.

Examples

a=sin(0:.1:80);
b=sin(0:.1:80) + 0.1 * randn(1,801);
rpde(a,3,15,.1)
rpde(b,3,15,.1)
