Chaotic dynamics and simulation of Japanese vowel sounds

Abstract

-We examine deterministic dynamics in Japanese speech vocalisation patterns. We find that a simple data driven non-parametric model may be employed to accurately and compactly describe the complex dynamic structure of the data. Moreover, we demonstrate that the data is not consistent with a monotonic nonlinear transformation of linearly filtered noise (i.e. determinism in the data cannot be adequately described by the Fourier power spectrum). We then show that for four of the five vowel sounds, the dynamics are not consistent with a noise driven nonlinear periodic orbit, and therefore the underlying dynamical system is likely to be chaotic. In the fifth case (the vowel /u/) we are unable to reject the hypothesis of a noise driven periodic orbit.

Selecting embedding delays: An overview of embedding techniques and a new method using persistent homology

“…The algorithm for reducing the number of lagged components is as follows: An implementation of the minimum description length criterion for optimal embedding lag and window was done by Small and Tse 69,70 .An extension of this method was proposed by Hirata et al 61 where a normalised maximum likelihood L is used in place of minimum description length L for model selection 71,72 . Hirata et al also propose a variation of the above algorithm by Judd and Mees -cross-validation -that utilises the radial basis modesl instead of pseudo-linear models.…”

Human photoplethysmogram: new insight into chaotic characteristics

“…For calculation of Rossler's data, the system coefficients chosen were a = 0.398, b = 2, c = 4 which corresponds to single-band chaos [20][21][22], and for the Lorenz system and σ = 10, ρ = 28, β = 8/3; numerical simulation was done by the 4th order Runge-Kutta method with time step 0.01. Information about predictability can be used to distinguish different behaviors.…”

Interpreting non-random signatures in biomedical signals with Lempel–Ziv complexity

“…In order to make a finer distinction of the observed non-random signatures, surrogate testing [17,18] have been used in conjunction with complexity measures [13][14][15][16]. This includes complexity measures such as LZ complexity and its extensions (γ) [12][13][14][15].…”

“…represented by a schematic diagram [16]. Complexity measures have been successfully used to detect possible non-random structure and discriminate different physiological states of activity [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. In order to make a finer distinction of the observed non-random signatures, surrogate testing [17,18] have been used in conjunction with complexity measures [13][14][15][16].…”

“…Several complexity measures including Lempel-Ziv complexity [1] and its variants [2] have been used widely to quantify the regularity and extent of randomness in data sampled from physical and biological systems [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Such systems are undoubtedly nonlinear feedback systems corrupted with noise at the dynamical ) ( t ∈ and measurement ) ( t η levels.…”
