lyapunov.max: Estimation of the largest Lyapunov Exponent

Description

This function estimates the largest Lyapunov exponent through the Norma-2 method considering the argument set selected by the user.

Usage

lyapunov.max(x, blocking = c("FULL", "NOVER", "EQS", "BOOT"), B = 100,
  doplot = TRUE)

Arguments

x

a matrix or data frame containing the partial derivatives of jacobian.

blocking

a character denoting if you consider the full sample FULL, the non-overlapping sample NOVER, the equally spaced sample EQS or the bootstrap sample BOOT (Default FULL).

B

a non-negative integer denoting the number of bootstrap iterations (Default 100).

doplot

a logical value denoting if you want to draw a plot TRUE or not FALSE. If it is TRUE shows as many graphs as embedding dimensions have been considered. Each of them represents the evolution of the largest Lyapunov exponent values for the whole period considering the blocking method selected by the user (Default TRUE).

Value

A list containing the largest Lyapunov exponent considering the parameter set selected by the user. The dataset saved by each blocking method are the estimated Lyapunov exponent value, the standard error, the z-test value and the p-value. If the user chooses the non-overlapping sample, the equally spaced sample or the bootstrap sample the mean and median values of the Lyapunov exponent are showed. Also some details about the embedding dimension, the sample size, the block length and the block number are recorded.
