Recurrence plot

In descriptive statistics and chaos theory, a recurrence plot (RP) is a plot showing, for each moment j in time, the times at which the state of a dynamical system returns to the previous state at i , i.e., when the phase space trajectory visits roughly the same area in the phase space as at time j . In other words, it is a plot of : \vec{x}(i)\approx \vec{x}(j), showing i on a horizontal axis and j on a vertical axis, where \vec{x} is the state of the system (or its phase space trajectory).
