Hence, this dissertation not only explores questions such as what to quantify in MV?,
or which nonlinear tools are appropriate to quantify MV?, but also how
nonlinear analyses are affected with real-world time series data
(e.g. nonstationary, data length limitations, sampling rate changes or noisiness).

-%we consider a methodology from nonlinear dynamics called uniform reconstructed state space
-%to quantify movement variability which essentially the dynamics of

-%As pointed out by Bradley et al. uniform reconstructed state space,

-%Although our experiment is limited to twenty healthy right-handed
-%participants of a range of mean 19.8 SD=1.39 age,
-%we can conclude that thought
-%Considering the process to compute RQA metrics
-%(embedding parameters, RSSs, RPs),
-%can quantify human movement variability
-%considering different conditions of the time series such as
-%window size length, levels of smoothness, axis, sensors and activities.
-%
-%
-%%Such understanding and measurement of movement variability using
-%%cheap wearable inertial sensors lead us to have a more intuitive
-%%selection of parameters
-%%to reconstruct the state spaces and to create meaningful interpretations
-%%of the recurrence plots and the results of the metrics with
-%%recurrence quantification
-%%analysis.
-%
-%Similarly, such differences in time series created differences in each of the
-%RQA metrics, for instance, RATIO and ENTR are helpful to distinguish
-%differences in any of the categories of the time series (sensor, activity,
-%level of smoothness and number of participant), however for certain time series
-%(data from the sensor attached to the robot) seemed to have little variations
-%between each of the participants. The latter phenomena was in a way
-%evidently as robot degrees of freedom did not allow it to move with a
-%wide range of variability.
-%
-%%In this thesis, an experiment is performed in the context of human-humanoid
-%%imitation activity to test nonlinear dynamics methods to quantify
-%%human movement variability.
-%%The presented results that illustrate the potential of nonlinear dynamics tools
-%%by providing a balanced review of positive and negatives aspects of each
-%%technique to quantitatively and qualitatively measure movement variability.
-%%
-%With regards to the visual inspection and understanding of the patters
-%for reconstructed state spaces and recurrence plots,
-%it can also be concluded that the performance of such tools is subjective
-%since biased personal data interpretation might be provided.
-%Hence, without any bias, RQA metrics (REC, DET, RATIO and ENTR) help us
-%to show such differences of movement variability for difference categories
-%of the time series (participants, movements, axis type, window length
-%or levels of smoothness).
-%Furthermore, it was noticed that each of the metrics of RQA show
-%the differences but particularly the metrics of RATIO and ENTR are
-%helpful to distinguish the differences in each of the categories
-%of the time series.
-%
-%Although RPs and metrics for RQA are independent of embedding
-%dimension \cite{iwanski1998}, it was found that recurrence threshold
-%values can modify the results for both RPs and RQA. This thesis has
-%carried out experiments on different activities in which the sensor's
-%axis was representative of difference of structures in the time series.
-%
-%
-%
-%
-%%We therefore collecte data series using inertial sensors and we smooth
-%%the signals to see its graphical effects and also in the metrics.
-%%With that in mind, embedding values to create the reconstructe state spaces
-%%and theferfore its recurrence plots. By doing that, we saw that visually
-%%each of the particpants in each of the conditions for movemetns and
-%%levels of smootheness of the signlas are evicently differently, therefore
-%%the challenge for us were to have a quantitavely method for each of the
-%%difference in the patterns for RP for which we took the adnavce of the use
-%%of Recurrene Qantification Analysis which show important results
-%%that help us to quantify the variality between particpants and between

-%\subsubsection*{RQA metrics with fixed parameters}
-%Considering that RQA metrics were computed with fixed embedding
-%parameters (e.g. $m=6$ and $\tau=8$) and recurrence thresholds
-%(e.g. $\epsilon=1$), we found the following for human-humanoid activities.
-%REC values, representing the \% of black points
-%in the RPs, were more affected with an increase of velocity
-%for normal arm movements (HN and VN) than for faster velocity
-%arm movements (HF and VF) with the sensor attached to the
-%participants (HS01).
-%Also, REC values for RS01 appear to be more
-%constant than those from HS01
-%(see Fig. \ref{fig:RQABP}(A) in Chapter \ref{chapter6}).
-%DET values, representing predictability and organisation in
-%the RPs, present little variation in the any of the time series and
-%little can be said but the effect of the increase of smoothness of
-%time series which made DET values appear to be more similar and constant
-%(see Fig. \ref{fig:RQABP}(B) in Chapter \ref{chapter6}).
-%In contrast, RATIO values, which represent dynamic
-%transitions, were more variable for arm movements performed at faster
-%velocity (HF and VF) than normal velocity (HN and VN)
-%with the sensor attached to the participants (HS01).
-%For time series from the sensor attached to the robot (RS01),
-%RATIO values for horizontal arm movements (HN, HF)
-%appear to vary more than values coming from vertical arm movements (VN, VF)
-%(see Fig. \ref{fig:RQABP}(C) in Chapter \ref{chapter6}).
-%With that in mind, it can be said that RATIO values can represent
-%better movement variability than the use of REC or DET metrics,
-%particularly with their dynamics transitions of imitation activities
-%in each of the conditions for time series.
-%ENTR values for HN arm movements
-%were higher than values for HF arm movements and ENTR values varied more
-%for sensor attached to participants (HS01)
-%than ENTR values for sensors of the robot (RS01)
-%(see Fig. \ref{fig:RQABP}(D) in Chapter \ref{chapter6}).
-%
-%From Chapters \ref{chapter2} and \ref{chapter3}, it is known that the
-%higher the ENTR metric is the more complex the dynamics of the movements are.
-%However, ENTR values for normal velocity (HN, VN) appear to be a bit higher
-%than ENTR values for faster velocity (HF, VF)
-%(see Fig. \ref{fig:RQABP}(D) in Chapter \ref{chapter6}).
-%
-%
-%For ENTR values of human-image imitation,
-%there is a slight increase of ENTR values for
-%movements with beat (HNwb, HFwb, VNwb, VFwb)
-%against movements wiht no beat (HNnb, HFnb, VNnb, VFnb)
-%(see the sample means (grey rhombus) in Figs
-%\ref{fig:BPRQAH}(D) and \ref{fig:BPRQAV}(D) in Chapter \ref{chapter5}).
-%
-%With that in mind, we hypothesise this happens because of the structure
-%the time series appear more complex for HN than HF arm movements
-%(presenting less stability at normal velocity).
-%
-%We also explored the effect of smoothness of raw-normalised time series
-%for RQA metrics where, for instance, REC and DET values
-%appear to be constant. Hence, REC and DET values were little
-%affected by the smoothness of time series.
-%However, the effect of smoothness can be well noticed for both
-%RATIO and ENTR values where a slightly but notable decrease in the amplitude
-%of the values in any of the time series conditions is presented.
