We show that, for finite chaotic time series, the embedding with the d
elay time which corresponds to a reconstructed phase diagram similar t
o the original one does not necessarily lead to a good convergence of
the correlation dimension. Delay time influences the measures of recon
structed dynamics besides the geometries of reconstructed phase diagra
ms. Moreover, the plateau onset of correlation dimension and the maxim
al Lyapunov exponent can be produced by the low-dimensional embedding
of the dynamics.
