Check out this software if you are into advanced rocket science, actually
rocket science is far less difficult than Market Science. Anyone with a
half a brain can become a rocket scientist, it takes no brain to trade the
markets successfully. ; - ) Mark
Hope you enjoy.... I certainly have.
Hello there,
This is to announce that version 4.0 of Visual Recurrence Analysis (VRA)
software for Windows 95, 98 and NT has been released.
Visual Recurrence Analysis is a software for topological analysis,
qualitative and quantitative assessment, and nonparametric prediction of
nonlinear/chaotic time series. It can detect hidden patterns and determinism
in time series using a graphical device known as the recurrence plot. VRA
first expands a given one-dimensional time series into a higher-dimensional
space, in which the dynamics of the underlying generator takes place. VRA
then constructs a recurrence plot, which is essentially a graphical
representation of the correlation integral in such a way so that the time
dependence in the system under study is preserved.
VRA is very fast and highly interactive. Extensive online help and
references are included. A major addition to VRA v4.0 is nonlinear time
series prediction using nonparametric methods. You have a choice of five
different predictors (nearest neighbor, local constant, kernel regression,
local linear, and locally weighted linear), seven kernel functions
(Epanechnikov, Gaussian, exponential, bisquare, tricube, inverse,
triangular), five distance measures (Euclidean, Manhattan, max norm, by
cosine, by correlation), and much more. Other new features include
(modified) False Nearest Neighbors method, recurrence histogram, and the
support for the data files in MS Excel format (in addition to plain ASCII
text, comma-separated (.csv), formatted text (.prn), and sound (.wav)
formats). All charts and graphs are now zoom-enabled and can now be saved
and printed. Recurrence quantification analysis is improved to reflect the
users' suggestions.
VRA v4.0 remains free provided that it is used for
educational/academic/research purposes. VRA v4.0 can be downloaded from
http://pweb.netcom.com/~eugenek/download.html
If you have any comments or suggestions regarding VRA and its use, please

Thank you very much for your interest,
Eugene Kononov.
