A guide to dynamical analysis.
The number and variety of methods used in dynamical analysis has increased dramatically during the last fifteen years, and the limitations of these methods, especially when applied to noisy biological data, are now becoming apparent. Their misapplication can easily produce fallacious results. The purpose of this introduction is to identify promising new methods and to describe safeguards that can be used to protect against false conclusions.
