History of Nonlinear Time Series Analysis
- For the first century or so, mathematicians studied
Dyn Sys Theory by analyzing dynamical systems. After the
computer revolution, scientists (esp. physicists) turned
to the inverse problem: finding a dynamical system that
mimics a given data set. Essentially an aspect of chaos theory,
this became a whole field in itself by the 1990s.
