Nonlinear time series methods for analyzing behavioural sequences
NIKITA KUZNETSOV, Scott Bonnette, Michael A. Riley · 2013
This chapter provides an overview of nonlinear analysis methods that quantify the time-dependent characteristics of behavioural sequences. We review the fundamental notions useful for an understanding of these analyses and briefly summarize several frequently used methods. We then describe sample entropy (SampEn) in more detail and provide a tutorial example of calculating it. Finally, some relevant factors for the interpretation and design of experiments employing sample entropy are discussed.
