Sir,

Chaotic behavior is a feature associated with complex and interacted systems. Many natural and unnatural systems in various branches of science (such as biology, economics, etc.) exhibit chaotic behavior and the study of chaotic systems and signals has progressed in the recent decades. [1] Chaotic time series have a significant role in identification of their generating systems. It has been claimed that in medical science many signals like brain signals (both microscopic and macroscopic ones), [2],[3] cardiac signals (e.g., ECG and HRV [1],[4] ), respiratory sounds, [5] etc. have chaotic properties. Owing to the effect of measurement instruments and the environment, all experimental data are mixed with noise to some extent. This fact is often undesirable. In other words, noise is an unwanted part of data. [1],[6]

Different methods for removing noise from chaotic signals have been introduced. One of the best methods is the Local Projection approach, [1] The local projection approach projects the chaotic data in a neighborhood onto a certain hyperplane. Selection of neighborhood radius, which is mainly determined by the way of experience or trial-and-error methods, has a direct impact on its performance. There are a few works on choosing the neighborhood radius adaptively. [7],[8],[9]



We believe that the use of this method can improve the local projection approach efficiency. In addition, this idea (using Stretching and folding feature and the way it should be measured) could also be used in other areas of chaotic signal processing.[11]
