Causal discovery seeks to recover cause–effect relationships from statistical data using graphical models. One goal of this paper is to provide an accessible introduction to causal discovery methods for climate scientists, with a focus on constraint-based structure learning. Second, in a detailed case study constraintbased structure learning is applied to derive hypotheses of causal relationshi...

We present a method that estimates the strength of neuronal oscillations at the cellular level, relying on autocorrelation histograms computed on spike trains. The method delivers a number, termed oscillation score, that estimates the degree to which a neuron is oscillating in a given frequency band. Moreover, it can also reliably identify the oscillation frequency and strength in the given ban...

In this paper a new optimization algorithm, the biogeography based optimization (BBO) is employed to design a robust power oscillation damping (POD) controller using unified power flow controller (UPFC). The controller that is used to damp low frequency oscillation is designed over a wide range of operating points using two different objective functions. The obtained controllers are then verifi...
