Possibilities of stochastic processing of system parameters with chaotic dynamics

Abstract

The paper presents the first attempt to combine methods of stochastics (mathematical statistics) and methods of theory of chaos and self-organization for studying such complex (chaotic) processes as postural tremor. It was established that when re-registering tremor in each subject by n=15 or n=30 obtained tremorograms do not exhibit normal distribution, and non-parametric distributions show distinctions at pairwise comparison on Wilcoxon test (only 2 or 3 pairs from 210 may belong to the same general population). Static physical load sharply changes this picture and the number of such ("similar") pairs increases. The estimation method for effect of a load on tremor is proposed. Simultaneously, within calculating quasi-attractors there is a clear picture of division of chaotic dynamics of tremor parameters with load and without load. Prospects of a new method application in physiological measurements are discussed. Limited method of stochas- tics in description of complexity is underlined, and necessity of calculation quasi-attractor´s parameters in phase space of state is proved.
