Detecting non-causal artifacts in multivariate linear regression models
We consider linear models where d potential causes X1, . . . , Xd are correlated with one target quantity Y and propose a method to infer whether the association is causal or whether it is an artifact caused by overfitting or hidden common causes. We employ the idea that in the former case the vector of regression coefficients has ‘generic’ orientation relative to the covariance matrix ΣXX of X...
متن کاملDetecting information flow direction in multivariate linear and nonlinear models
In this paper we present an approach to analyze the direction of information flow between time series involving bidirectional relations. The intuitive idea comes from a first study dedicated to the so-called phase slope index, which is a measure originally developed to detect unidirectional relations and is based on the complex coherence function. In order to detect bidirectional flows, we prop...
متن کاملMultivariate Linear Models
For example, we may have (i) measurements of d = 5 air pollutants (CO, NO, etc.) on n = 42 widely-separated days, (ii) d test scores for n different students, (iii) best results for d Olympic events for teams from n different countries, or (iv) d different physical measurements for n individuals (human or animal) that we are trying to classify. In each case, the i row corresponds to the i multi...
متن کاملMultivariate Linear Path Models
Path analysis is useful to explain the interrelationships among sets of observed variables in a causal chain. However, path analysis has been underutilized in health science and epidemiology research, because of its restrictive requirement of a complete causal ordering of variables. In order to solve this problem, we suggest the use of multivariate path models and derive a multivariate ”Calculu...
متن کاملGeneralized Impulse Response Analysis in Linear Multivariate Models¤
Building on Koop, Pesaran and Potter (1996), we propose the `generalized' impulse response analysis for unrestricted vector autoregressive (VAR) and cointegrated VAR models. Unlike the traditional impulse response analysis, our approach does not require orthogonalization of shocks and is invariant to the ordering of the variables in the VAR. The approach is also used in the construction of orde...
