title: Dynamical properties of maps fitted to data in the noise-free limit.
abstract: We argue that any attempt to classify dynamical properties from nonlinear finite time-series data requires a mechanistic model fitting the data better than piecewise linear models according to standard model selection criteria. Such a procedure seems necessary but still not sufficient.
