Abstract
We discuss the analysis of highly discretized data, given as a time se quence of measurements, and propose a test for nonlinear dynamical beh avior. Statistical significance is achieved by means of surrogate data , for which the construction rules are given. The method of surrogate data as often applied to the analysis of time series, however, cannot be used in the present case of the analysis of symbol sequences. There fore, a considerably different technique is developed. The test is app lied to several model examples.
