Abstract
We present a new method for detecting a low-dimensional deterministic chara cter of very short discrete time series. The algorithm depends on two param eters, that can be selected according to a simple criterion. Experiments sh ow that the method is sensitive to noise levels as low as 2%. In addition, our technique allows us to estimate the value of the largest Lyapunov expon ent.
