“…The famous embedding theorems of Whitney [97], Mañé [64], and Takens [88] together with their enhancement by Sauer et al [81] allow a high dimensional state space reconstruction from (observed) uni-or multivariate time series. Computing dynamical invariants [35,36,41,49,51] from the observed system, making meaningful predictions even for chaotic or stochastic systems [23,15,85,79,50,74,45], detecting causal interactions [86,24,98] or non-linear noise reduction algorithms [52,68] all rely explicitly or implicitly on (time delay) embedding [72] the data into a reconstructed state space. Other ideas rather than time delay embedding (TDE) are also possible [72,8,32,73,65,63], but due to its simple use and its proficient outcomes in a range of situations, TDE is by far the most common reconstruction technique.…”
