Feature Category Feature Description
Distribution • Mode of z-scored distribution (5-bin histogram)
• Mode of z-scored distribution (10-bin histogram)
Simple temporal statistics • Longest period of consecutive values above the mean
• Time intervals between successive extreme events above the mean
• Time intervals between successive extreme events below the mean
Linear autocorrelation • First 1/e crossing of the autocorrelation function
• First minimum of the autocorrelation function
• Total power in the lowest fifth of frequencies in the Fourier power spectrum
• Centroid of the Fourier power spectrum
• Mean error from a rolling 3-sample mean forecasting
Nonlinear autocorrelation Time-reversibility statistic, ((xt+1 – xt)3)t
• Automutual information, m = 2, τ = 5
• First minimum of the automutual information function
Successive differences • Proportion of successive differences exceeding 0.04σ
• Longest period of successive incremental decreases
• Shannon entropy of two successive 3-letter symbolization
• Change in correlation length after iterative differencing
• Exponential fit to successive distances in 2-d embedding space
Fluctuation analysis • Proportion of slower timescale fluctuations that scale with DFA (50% sampling)

Others • Trace of covariance of transition matrix between symbols in 3-letter alphabet
• Periodicity measure of Wang et al. [52]
