Causality in Time Series: Its Detection and Quantification by Means of Information Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
While studying complex systems, one of the fundamental questions is to identify causal relationships (i. e. which system drives which) between relevant subsystems. In this paper, we focus on informationtheoretic approaches for causality detection by means of directionality index based on mutual information estimation. We briefly review the current methods for mutual information estimation from the point of view of their consistency. We also present some arguments from recent literature, supporting the usefulness of the information-theoretic tools for causality detection.

متن کاملQuantification of Effective Connectivity in the Brain Using a Measure of Directed Information
Effective connectivity refers to the influence one neural system exerts on another and corresponds to the parameter of a model that tries to explain the observed dependencies. In this sense, effective connectivity corresponds to the intuitive notion of coupling or directed causal influence. Traditional measures to quantify the effective connectivity include model-based methods, such as dynamic ...
متن کاملRiver Discharge Time Series Prediction by Chaos Theory
The application of chaos theory in hydrology has been gaining considerable interest in recent years.Based on the chaos theory, the random seemingly series can be attributed to deterministic rules. Thedynamic structures of the seemingly complex processes, such as river flow variations, might be betterunderstood using nonlinear deterministic chaotic models than the stochastic ones. In this paper,...
