# Examples:

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

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

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
IMPORTANT TO NOTE

For cross-entropy and multiscale cross-entropy functions, the two time series signals are passed as a two-column or two-row matrix. At present, it is not possible to pass signals of different lengths separately.

Parameters of the base or cross- entropy methods are passed to multiscale and multiscale cross- functions using the multiscale entropy object using MSobject. Base and cross- entropy methods are declared with MSobject() using any Base or Cross- entropy function. See the MSobject example in the following sections for more info.

Hierarchical Multiscale Entropy (+ Multiscale Cross-Entropy)

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.

BIDIMENSIONAL ENTROPIES

Each bidimensional entropy function (SampEn2D, FuzzEn2D, DistEn2D) 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.
