Hello! Thank you for the answers and sorry for my delayed reply (made this thread just before going on vacation). The formula presented above is used to determine the onset of a muscle reaction, with data gathered per millisecond in a time series.
Here follows the remaining information I have, hopefully, I'm not breaching any copywright laws by presenting it here:
1.
The scalar time seriers {x1,x2,...,xi,...,xn} is embedded in a delayed m-dimensional space, where vectors are constructed as (the formula above).
The probability Bm® that two sequences match for m points is computed by counting the average number of vector pairs, for which the distance is lower than the tolerance r. Similarly, Am®
is defined for an embedding dimension of m + 1. It is then calculated as:
Answer(x,m,r)=-ln(Am®/Bm®)
I hope this information is enough to solve the meaning of this formula.
