Fractal, entropic and chaotic approaches to complex physiological time series analysis: a critical appraisal

A wide variety of methods based on fractal, entropic or chaotic approaches have been applied to the analysis of complex physiological time series. In this paper, we show that fractal and entropy measures are poor indicators of nonlinearity for gait data and heart rate variability data. In contrast,...
