logistic_map function

A function to generate a time series from the logistic map

Generates a time series from the logistic map

logistic_map(N, r, start="rand", disregard_N=0)

Arguments

• N: length of the time series that is to be generated
• r: logistic map parameter, must be in the range [0,4]
• start: start value. Default is to random.
• disregard_N: Number of values at the beginning of the series to disregard

Returns

A vector of length N

Examples

logistic_map(N = 10^4, r=4)
