Crucial to the method is the ability to apply Takens' theorem in order to reconstruct the dynamics underlying the time series. We introduce a functional to evaluate how compatible is a filling sequence of data with the reconstructed dynamics. An algorithm for minimizing the functional with a reasonable computational effort is then discussed.14 pages (REVTeX preprint), 4 figuresChaotic Dynamicstext
