global_complexity: A function to compute global information and complexity measures for time series

Description

This is a high-level function that calculates global complexity measures directly from a given time series or ordinal pattern distribution.

Usage

global_complexity(x = NA, opd = NA, ndemb)

Arguments

x

(OPTIONAL) If opd is not specified, a time series vector x must be specified

opd

A numeric vector that details an ordinal pattern distribution in a user-specified permutation coding scheme.

ndemb

(OPTIONAL) If x is given, the embedding dimension (ndemb) is required.

Value

A named vector containing the three global complexity measures.

Details

This function calculates the following global measures of complexity and information:

• Permutation Entropy (PE, cf. Bandt and Pompe, 2002)

• Permutation Statistical complexity (MPR complexity, cf. Martin, Plastino and Rosso, 2006)

• Number of "forbiden patterns" (cf. Amigo 2010)
