Abstract:

Thirteen tree-ring series from the Salt and Verde River basins in Arizona are studied to distinguish between chaos and randomness. A chaotic moving average model that represents the time series as a convolution of a linear filter and an uncorrelated chaotic process is used. The results are compared to those given by the Grassberger-Procaccia algorithm (GPA) which can also identify the presence of low-dimensional chaotic dynamics.
