Unscented Transformation for Estimating the Lyapunov Exponents of Chaotic Time Series Corrupted by Random Noise

چکیده
Many systems in the natural world exhibit chaos or non-linear behavior, the complexity of which is so great that they appear to be random. Identification of chaos in experimental data is essential for characterizing the system and for analyzing the predictability of the data under analysis. The Lyapunov exponents provide a quantitative measure of the sensitivity to initial conditions and are the most useful dynamical diagnostic for chaotic systems. However, it is difficult to accurately estimate the Lyapunov exponents of chaotic signals which are corrupted by a random noise. In this work, a method for estimation of Lyapunov exponents from noisy time series using unscented transformation is proposed. The proposed methodology was validated using time series obtained from known chaotic maps. In this paper, the objective of the work, the proposed methodology and validation results are discussed in detail. Keywords—Lyapunov exponents, unscented transformation, chaos theory, neural networks.

متن کاملEstimating Lyapunov Exponents in Chaotic Time Series with Locally Weighted Regression
Nonlinear dynamical systems often exhibit chaos, which is characterized by sensitive dependence on initial values or more precisely by a positive Lyapunov exponent. Recognizing and quantifying chaos in time series represents an important step toward understanding the nature of random behavior and revealing the extent to which short-term forecasts may be improved. We will focus on the statistica...
متن کاملLocal Lyapunov Exponents : Predictability depends on where you are
The dominant Lyapunov exponent of a dynamical system measures the average rate at which nearby trajectories of a system diverge. Even though a positive exponent provides evidence for chaotic dynamics and upredictability, there may predictability of the time series over some finite time periods. In this paper one version of a local Lyapunov exponent is defined for a dynamic system perturbed by n...

متن کاملInability of Lyapunov exponents to predict epileptic seizures.
It has been claimed that Lyapunov exponents computed from electroencephalogram or electrocorticogram (ECoG) time series are useful for early prediction of epileptic seizures. We show, by utilizing a paradigmatic chaotic system, that there are two major obstacles that can fundamentally hinder the predictive power of Lyapunov exponents computed from time series: finite-time statistical fluctuatio...
