Recurrence plot

A recurrence plot is a type of graph used to show how things repeat or occur again over time. It is made up of dots that appear when patterns repeat or recur. In a recurrence plot, the x-axis and y-axis show different time points, while the dots show that something happened at the same time point (or close to the same time). This way, you can see when something happens again and how frequently it happens. For example, you could use a recurrence plot to compare two different data sets and see what patterns repeat or show up again in each set.
