In this paper, determinism in human posture control data is investigated using the approach of nonlinear prediction. We first comment that one should be cautious of using some statistical methods to analyze nonstationary time series. Then we test the predictability of the human posture control data with different prediction techniques, and investigate how nonstationarity and noise affect the prediction results. Different time series are tested, including data from healthy and ill persons, and different predictabilities are found in different time series.
