The characterization of the erythrocytes’ viscoelastic properties is studied from the perspective of bounded correlated random walk (Brownian motion), based on the assumption that diffractometric data involves both deterministic and stochastic components. The photometric readings are obtained...

A new methodology based on information theory is used to explore the evolution of the surface air temperature climate network over the Tropical Pacific region. Topological changes over the period 1948–2009 are investigated using windows of one year duration. Alternating states of lower/higher...

This study aimed to examine the background electroencephalography (EEG) in children with childhood absence epilepsy, a condition whose presentation has strong developmental links. EEG hallmarks of absence seizure activity are widely accepted and there is recognition that the bulk of inter-ictal...

Analysis of time-series multichannel physiological data were performed using wavelets. Wavelet provides a time-scale description and lead us to decompose any signal into frequency bands. A better precision in the frequency domain is often necessary to detect stationary phenomena or characterize...

In the present work, we show that appropriate information-theory tools based on the wavelet transform (relative wavelet energy; normalized total wavelet entropy, H; generalized wavelet complexity, CW), when applied to tonic–clonic epileptic EEG data, provide one with valuable insights into the...

We develop a quantitative method of analysis of EEG records. The method is based on the wavelet analysis of the record and on the capability of the Jensen–Shannon divergence (JSD) to identify dynamical changes in a time series. The JSD is a measure of distance between probability...

A Statistical Complexity measure has been recently proposed to quantify the performance of chaotic Pseudorandom number generators (PRNG) (Physica A 354 (2005) 281). Here we revisit this quantifier and introduce two important improvements: (i) consideration of an intensive statistical complexity...

We investigate the classical limit of the dynamics of a semiclassical system that represents the interaction between matter and a given field. The concept of Fisher Information measure (F) on using as a quantifier of the process, we find that it adequately describes the transition, detecting the...

Pseudorandom number generators (PRNG) are extensively used in Monte Carlo simulations, gambling machines and cryptography as substitutes of ideal random number generators (RNG). Each application imposes different statistical requirements to PRNGs. As L’Ecuyer clearly states “the main goal...
