Abstract
We present a detailed study of the application of Grassberger-Procaccia-type algorithms for estimating entropy in experimental systems. It is shown that this method can clearly distinguish a chaotic regime from a quasiperiodic one, and quantify the degree of chaos. We demonstrate this on the data from two different Rayleigh-Bénard experiments.Keywords
