Example 1: Sample Entropy

Import a signal of normally distributed random numbers [mean = 0; SD = 1], and calculate the sample entropy for each embedding dimension (m) from 0 to 4.

X = ExampleData("gaussian");
Samp, _ = SampEn(X, m = 4);

5-element Vector{Float64}:
 2.178923612371957
 2.175742327787873
 2.181969567351662
 2.2209839754321417
 2.1755667174542923

Select the last value to get the sample entropy for m = 4.

Samp[end]

2.1755667174542923

Calculate the sample entropy for each embedding dimension (m) from 0 to 4 with a time delay (tau) of 2 samples.

Samp, Phi1, Phi2 = SampEn(X, m = 4, tau = 2)
