Our aim is to identify the time-scales at which either stochastic or chaotic dynamics dominate in an experimental optoelectronic feedback system. We address this critical issue by estimating two information theory quantifiers, namely the permutation entropy and the permutation statistical complexity, of experimentally obtained time series as functions of the embedding delay tau of a certain symbolic reconstruction.
