Text as a complex system is commonly studied by various methods, like complex networks or time series analysis, in order to discover its properties. One of the most important properties of each text is its keywords, which are extracted by word ranking methods. There are various methods to rank words of a text. Each method differently ranks words according to their frequency, spatial distribution or other word properties. Here, we aimed to explore how similar various word ranking methods are. For this purpose, we studied the rank correlation of some important word ranking methods for number of sample texts with different subjects and text sizes. We found that by increasing text size the correlation between ranking methods grows. It means that as the text size increases, the associated word ranks calculated by different ranking methods converge. Also, we found out that the rank correlations of word ranking methods approach their maximum value in the case of large enough texts.

AbstractWe propose novel metrics based on the Kolmogorov complexity for use in complex system behavior studies and time series analysis. We consider the origins of the Kolmogorov complexity and discuss its physical meaning. To get better insights into the nature of complex systems and time series analysis we introduce three novel measures based on the Kolmogorov complexity: (i) the Kolmogorov complexity spectrum, (ii) the Kolmogorov complexity spectrum highest value and (iii) the overall Kolmogorov complexity. The characteristics of these measures have been tested using a generalized logistic equation. Finally, the proposed measures have been applied to different time series originating from: a model output (the biochemical substance exchange in a multi-cell system), four different geophysical phenomena (dynamics of: river flow, long term precipitation, indoor

Time series analysis is a fundamental tool for a wide variety of fields. Different methods have been proposed to extract information about the underlying dynamics (basically nonlinear) contained inside the time series [Albert & Barabási, 2002]. In this contribution, a new method for mapping nonlinear time series into complex networks is studied using simulated data.

Complex networks are an important paradigm of modern complex systems sciences which allows quantitatively assessing the structural properties of systems composed of different interacting entities. During the last years, intensive efforts have been spent on applying network-based concepts also for the analysis of dynamically relevant higher-order statistical properties of time series. Notably, many corresponding approaches are closely related to the concept of recurrence in phase space. In this paper, we review recent methodological advances in time series analysis based on complex networks, with a special emphasis on methods founded on recurrence plots. The potentials and limitations of the individual methods are discussed and illustrated for paradigmatic examples of dynamical systems as well as for real-world time series. Complex network measures are shown to provide information about structural features of dynamical systems that are complementary to those characterized by other methods of time series analysis and, hence, substantially enrich the knowledge gathered from other existing (linear as well as nonlinear) approaches.
