R: Trapping-Time

tt	R Documentation

Trapping-Time

Description

Extract vertical lines from a recurrence plot on which it calculates laminarity (the percentage of recurrence points which form vertical lines), and trapping-time (the mean length of vertical lines).

Usage

 tt(x, minvertline, whiteline)

Arguments

`x`	A binary matrix representing a recurrent plot
`minvertline`	A minimum vertical length of recurrent points.
`whiteline`	A logical flag to calculate (TRUE) or not (FALSE) empty vertical lines

Details

This function is based on MATLAB code written by Norbert Marwan, available in crptoolbox

Value

A list with four variables: TT (The average length of vertical line structures), lam (proportion of recurrent points forming vertical line structures), tw (vertically consecutive white points|lines) and tb (vertically consecutive black points|lines). If whiteline = FALSE, tw = NA.

Examples


## build a random x matrix
r = 100; c = 100
x = round(matrix(runif(r*c), r, c))
whiteline = TRUE
minvertline = 2

ans = tt(x, minvertline, whiteline)
