In this communication, a method of complex network construction is proposed for univariate chaotic time series, which provides a novel way to analyze time series. In the process of complex network construction, how to measure the similarity between the time series is a key problem to be solved. Due to the complexity of chaotic systems, the common metrics is hard to measure the similarity. Consequently, the proposed method first transforms univariate time series into high-dimensional phase space to increase its information, then uses Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to represent time series, and finally introduces maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) to measure the similarity between GMMs. The Lorenz system is used to validate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method for measuring the similarity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e22020142","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,24]],"date-time":"2020-01-24T11:01:00Z","timestamp":1579863660000},"page":"142","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Complex Network Construction of Univariate Chaotic Time Series Based on Maximum Mean Discrepancy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9375-8918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiancheng","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Software and Internet of Things Engineering, Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, Nanchang 330013, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Kantz, H., and Thomas, S.
