Probably the best approach is to pose the question "can the dynamics of the time series be described by a finite number of phase space variables ?". An excellent discussion of this is given in Tom Mullin's book "The Nature of Chaos" ISBN 0 19 853990 8 Oxford University Press. Chapter 7 "Distinguishing noise from chaos" by Holton and May is particularly apposite and uses the above to look at various examples, using the method of delay. Easy enough to code into Mathematica. -chris In article <7r4vt5$9r4 at smc.vnet.net>, Stevemail at teleline.es (Steve ) writes: >I have a time series, and i want to know if this series, was created by >a deterministic process or a full random process.
