Abstract

Some recent papers were concerned with applicability of the Bayesian (statistical) approach to reconstruction of dynamic systems (DS) from experimental data. A significant merit of the approach is its universality. But, being correct in terms of meeting conditions of the underlying theorem, the Bayesian approach to reconstruction of DS is hard to realize in the most interesting case of noisy chaotic time series (TS). In this work we consider a modification of the Bayesian approach that can be used for reconstruction of DS from noisy TS. We demonstrate efficiency of the modified approach for solution of two types of problems: (1) finding values of parameters of a known DS by noisy TS; (2) classification of modes of behavior of such a DS by short TS with pronounced noise.
