Abstract

Dynamical systems with asymptotically stable periodic orbits are generic models for rhythmic processes in dissipative physical systems. This paper presents a method for reconstructing the dynamics near a periodic orbit from multivariate time-series data. It is used to test theories about the control of legged locomotion, a context in which time series are short when compared with previous work in nonlinear time-series analysis. The method presented here identifies appropriate dimensions of reduced order models for the deterministic portion of the dynamics. The paper also addresses challenges inherent in identifying dynamical models with data from different individuals.
