Recurrence quantification analysis : theory and best practices

The analysis of recurrences in dynamical systems by using recurrence plots and their quantification is still an emerging field. Over the past decadesrecurrence plots have proven to be valuable data visualization and analysis tools in the theoretical study of complex, time-varying dynamical systems as well as in various applications in biology, neuroscience, kinesiology, psychology, physiology, engineering, physics, geosciences, linguistics, finance, economics, and other disciplines. Thismulti-authored bookintends to comprehensively introduce andshowcaserecent advances as well asestablished best practices concerningboth theoretical and practical aspects of recurrence plot based analysis. Edited and authored by leading researcherin the field, the various chapters addressan interdisciplinary readership, ranging from theoretical physicists to application-oriented scientists in all data-providing disciplines.
