This study investigates the presence of deterministic dependencies in international stock markets using recurrence plots and recurrence quantification analysis (RQA). The results are based on a large set of free float-adjustedmarket capitalization stock indices, covering a period of 15 years. The statistical tests suggest that the dynamics of stock prices in emerging markets is characterized by...

Coordination between conversation partners occurs at multiple levels, including choice of syntactic structure. A number of outstanding questions concerning the origin of this coordination require novel analytic techniques. Here we introduce and adapt a widely applied dynamical analysis, recurrence analysis. We use this method to explore lexical and syntactic coordination between children and ca...

Recurrence plots were introduced to help aid the detection of signals in complicated data series. This effort was furthered by the quantification of recurrence plot elements. We now demonstrate the utility of combining recurrence quantification analysis with principal components analysis to allow for a probabilistic evaluation for the presence of deterministic signals in relatively short data l...

The recurrence of states is a fundamental behaviour of dynamical systems. A modern technique of nonlinear data analysis, the recurrence plot, visualises and analyses the recurrence structure and allows us to detect transitions in the system’s dynamics by using recurrence quantification analysis (RQA). In the last decade, the RQA has become popular in many scientific fields. However, a sufficien...

In this study the derivation of an objective metrics to appreciate the degree of structuring of written and spoken texts is presented. The proposed metrics is based on the scoring of recurrences inside a text by means of the application of Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA), a non linear technique widely used in other fields of sciences. The adopted approach allowed us to create a ranking...

Process monitoring is an important research problem in numerous areas. This paper proposes a novel process monitoring scheme by integrating the recurrence plot (RP) method and the control chart technique. Recently, the RP method has emerged as an effective tool to analyze waveform signals. However, unlike the existing RP methods that employ recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) to quantify t...

Given a set of time series, we aim at finding representatives which best comprehend the recurring temporal patterns contained in the data. We demonstrate BestTime, a Matlab application that uses recurrence quantification analysis to find time series representatives.

To reveal the fundamental skills involved in slacklining, this study examined a hypothesis regarding single-leg standing on a slackline. In the field of practice, instructors teach learners how to maintain balance on a swinging flat belt (slackline), such as by moving their hands in parallel. We hypothesized that bimanual coordination in the horizontal direction might contribute to dynamic bala...
