MatLab Examples:


The following sections provide some basic examples of EntropyHub functions. These examples are merely a snippet of the full range of EntropyHub functionality.

ExampleData()

In the following examples, signals / data are imported into Python using the EntropyHub.ExampleData() function. To use this function as outlined in the examples below, an internet connection is required.


MatLab Documentation Browser

There is a custom documentation section installed with the toolkit in MatLab which provides several useful examples of every function in more detail than what is shown here. Thus, if you are using EntropyHub for MatLab, we recommend that you consult the custom EntropyHub documentation in MatLab for more in-depth examples.


EntropyHub.ExampleData() accepts any of the following strings:

'uniform':

vector of uniformly distributed random numbers in range [0 1]

'gaussian':

vector of normally distributed random numbers with mean = 0; SD = 1

'randintegers':

vector of uniformly distributed pseudorandom integers in range [1 8]

'chirp':

vector of chirp signal with the following parameters, f0 = .01; t1 = 4000; f1 = .025

'lorenz':

3-column matrix: X, Y, Z components of the Lorenz system, (alpha = 10; beta = 8/3; rho = 28); [Xo = 10; Yo = 20; Zo = 10]

'henon':

2-column matrix: X, Y components of the Henon attractor (alpha = 1.4; beta = 0.3); [Xo = 0; Yo = 0]

'uniform2':

2-column matrix: uniformly distributed random numbers in range [0 1]

'gaussian2':

2-column matrix: normally distributed random numbers with mean = 0; SD = 1

'randintegers2':

2-column matrix: uniformly distributed pseudorandom integers in range [1 8]

'uniform_Mat':

Matrix of uniformly distributed random numbers in range [0 1]

'gaussian_Mat':

Matrix of normally distributed random numbers with mean = 0; SD = 1

'randintegers_Mat':

Matrix of uniformly distributed pseudorandom integers in range [1 8]

'mandelbrot_Mat':

Matrix of image of fractal generated from the mandelbrot set

'entropyhub_Mat':

Matrix of image of the entropyhub logo

THINGS TO REMEMBER

Parameters of the base, cross- or mulitvariate entropy methods are passed to multiscale, multiscale cross-, multivariate multiscale entropy functions using the multiscale entropy object given by MSobject(). Base, cross-, multivariate entropy methods are declared with MSobject() using a string of the function name.

Each bidimensional entropy function (SampEn2D, FuzzEn2D, DistEn2D, DispEn2D, EspEn2D) has an important keyword argument - Lock. Bidimensional entropy functions are “locked” by default (Lock == True) to only permit matrices with a maximum size of 128 x 128.

In hierarchical multiscale entropy (hMSEn()) and hierarchical multiscale cross- entropy (hXMSEn()) functions, the length of the time series signal(s) is halved at each scale. Thus, hMSEn() and hXMSEn() only use the first 2^N data points where 2^N <= the length of the original time series signal. i.e. For a signal of 5000 points, only the first 4096 are used. For a signal of 1500 points, only the first 1024 are used.
