Everything not being a valid option will be interpreted as a potential datafile name. Given no datafile at all, means read stdin. Also - means stdin
Possible options are:
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| -l# | number of points to use | whole file |
| -x# | number of lines to be ignored | 0 |
| -m# | number of components of the time series,embedding dimension | 1,2 |
| -c# | columns to be read | 1,2,...,'number of components' |
| -d# | delay for the embedding | 1 |
| -n# | for how many points should the error be calculated | all |
| -S# | temporal distance between the reference points | 1 |
| -k# | minimal numbers of neighbors for the fit | 30 |
| -r# | neighborhood size to start with | (data interval)/1000 |
| -f# | factor to increase the neighborhood size if not enough neighbors were found | 1.2 |
| -s# | steps to be forecasted xn+steps=av(xi+steps) | 1 |
| -C# | width of causality window | steps to be forecasted |
| -o[#] | output file name | without file name: 'datafile'.zer (or stdin.zer if stdin was read) If no -o is given stdout is used |
| -V# | verbosity level 0: only panic messages 1: add input/output messages 2: write also the individual forecast errors for the reference points. if steps (-s)is larger than one only the largest one is printed. | 1 |
| -h | show these options | none |
If the Verbosity level is larger than 1, the output also contains the individual forecast error for each component of each reference point.
