Hi Nicolas Most likely because the higher embedding dimension uses less data points, even when applied to the lower dimension. Therefore, the actual numbers should be similar, but do not exactly match. But it's a very long time ago I last touched this code. So pls read bdstest.c from tseries to be sure.
