Nonlinear Dynamics and Time Series

An important interdisciplinary work ... provides a valuable collection of recent research ... should appeal to scientists and statisticians who are relatively new to the field and to others interested in a very readable exploration of the topics covered. --Journal of Computational Intelligence in Finance This book is a collection of research and expository papers reflecting the interfacing of two fields: nonlinear dynamics (in the physiological and biological sciences) and statistics. It presents the proceedings of a four-day workshop entitled ''Nonlinear Dynamics and Time Series: Building a Bridge Between the Natural and Statistical Sciences'' held at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques (CRM) in Montreal in July 1995. The goal of the workshop was to provide an exchange forum and to create a link between two diverse groups with a common interest in the analysis of nonlinear time series data.
