A comparative study of the experimental quantification of deterministic chaos

Abstract Topological and correlation dimensions of physiological chaotic attractors are evaluated. The latter are embedded in phase spaces reconstructed using the laging method, multi-channel recordings and the singular value decomposition technique. A comparative study shows that comparable results are obtained only if the correlation dimension is less than four.
