The complexity-entropy causality plane, as a powerful tool for discriminating Gaussian from non-Gaussian process, has been recently introduced to describe the complexity among time series. We propose to use this method to distinguish the stage of climbcruise-decline of aeroengine. Our empirical results demonstrate that this statistical physics approach is useful. Further, the return intervals based complexity-entropy causality plane is introduced to describe the complexity of aeroengine fuel flow time series. The results can infer that the cruise process has lowest complexity and the decline process has highest complexity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
