 | | If these data come from a logistic map or any one-dimensional map, then the Nth vector will have the form: X[N] = (x[N], f(x[N])), and you should be able to see that all the 2-vectors will collapse on to the quadratic curve (x,f(x)) rather than being sprinkled over the plane. |
 | | This idea generalizes to higher-dimensional spaces although one needs to turn to a computer algorithm since it is difficult to visualize structures in 3d, 4d, etc spaces. |
 | | This may seem phony but there is a change of variables: x[i] = (1/2) (1 - Cos(Pi y[i])), which converts the logistic map with r=4 into the tent map for y[i]. |
