After applying the RITE algorithm to both simulation and experimental observations, we find the results obtained are close to those obtained from the criterion of the average mutual information (AMI), while the RITE algorithm has the following advantages: simple implementation, reasonable computational cost and robust performance against observational noise.4 figures; submitted to PLAChaotic Dynamicstext
