A quantitative measure of determinism in a recurrent time series is developed. Specifically, scalar time series data are used to form a vector series in reconstructed phase space. A statistic is then developed to measure the observed ``continuity'' of the vector series. The statistic is used as a measure of determinism. Several examples are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
