TSDETERMINISTIC(1) TSDETERMINISTIC(1) NAME tsdeterministic - determine if a time series is deterministic. SYNOPSIS tsdeterministic [-v] [filename] DESCRIPTION Tsdeterministic for determining if a time series was created by a deterministic mechanism. The idea is place each element of a time series in an array structure that contains the element and the next element in the time series, and then sort the array. The array is out- put and may be plotted. For example, using the program tsdlogistic(1) to make a discrete time series of the logistic, (quadratic function,) with the following command: tsdlogistic -a 4 -b -4 1000 > XXX and then using this program on the output file, XXX, will result in a plot of a parabola.
