Title: Recurrence networks approach to phase transition detection and to analysis of data from human experience

Abstract

I will discuss how to use multiplex recurrence networks to describe the dynamics of N=1 multivariate time series consisting of many different variables, often self-reports of human experience. The aim of these descriptive analyses is that they should, in principle, be usable in a clinical setting in which process monitoring is used and data accumulates on a daily basis. In such settings decisions on potential intervention activities are based on an analysis of the dynamics of the recent past. I will discuss the promises and challenges of the recurrence network approach compared to statistical models such as symptom networks based on Vector Autoregression (VAR).
