Purpose

Calculate the local largest Lyapunov exponent of a time series using a slided window

Description

Lyapunov exponents quantify the rate of divergence of trajectories along various directions. "Momentary largest Lyapunov exponent" calculates the local largest Lyapunov exponents of a time series by means of a sliding window. The data sequence containing the exponents is returned as a signal.
Parameters of this function are

Warning: Phase space calculations on long signals are computationally very expensive, and can lead to large response times of the program. Try to use small radii and low embedding dimensions if possible.
