“…As the PE has the ability to capture hidden dynamics of time series, various extensions of the PE, called multiscale PE (MPE), have been proposed to explore in depth the internal structure of signals at different time scales. Among the MPE techniques, we cite coarse-graining MPE [ 53 ], composite MPE [ 54 ], refined composite MPE [ 12 ], downspamling PE (DPE) [ 55 ], composite DPE [ 31 ], refined composite DPE [ 31 ], hierarchical PE [ 56 ], and data-driven decomposition-based MPE [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 57 , 58 , 59 ]. The main idea of these PE-based techniques is to combine PE with a preprocessing step of the signal of interest in order to reduce the number of patterns related to noise.…”
