Abstract
In many scientific fields like e.g. neuroscience, climatology or physics, complex relationships can be described most parsimoniously by nonlinear mechanics. Despite their relevance, many scientists still apply linear estimates in order to evaluate complex interactions. This is partially due to the lack of a comprehensive compilation of nonlinear methods. Available packages mostly specialize in only one aspect of nonlinear time-series analysis and most often require some coding proficiency to use. Here, we introduce NoLiTiA, a free open-source MATLAB toolbox for nonlinear time series analysis. In comparison to other currently available nonlinear packages, NoLiTiA offers 1) an implementation of a broad range of classic and recently developed methods, 2) an implementation of newly proposed spatially and time-resolved recurrence analysis and 3) an intuitive environment accessible even to…
