function [Y,T]=phasespace(x,dim,tau)
%Syntax: [Y,T]=phasespace(x,dim,tau) 
%___________________________________ 
%
% The phase space reconstruction of a time series x whith the Method Of Delays
% (MOD), in embedding dimension m and for time dalay tau. 
% 
% Y is the trajectory matrix in the reconstructed phase space.
% T is the phase space length.
% x is the time series. 
% dim is the embedding dimension.
% tau is the time delay.
