lmin must be 1 or greater #32

Closed heliosdrm closed 5 years ago

heliosdrm commented 5 years ago

the default is 2, but there is no reason to disallow lmin==1.

Datseris commented 5 years ago

But doesn't lmin = 1 means that single individual points on the recurrence plot are counted? Does this make sense?

heliosdrm commented 5 years ago

Isolated recurrent points are recurrences anyway, so it does make sense. It's usual to count at least 2 points to consider it a recurrent "trajectory", that's why the RQA functions have a default lmin=2. But they work with any positive number of points. So, if for any reason a user conciously wants to decrease the limit, I think that they should be allowed to do it.
