Transfer Entropy for Nonparametric Granger Causality Detection: An Evaluation of Different Resampling Methods
The information-theoretical concept transfer entropy is an ideal measure for detecting conditional independence, or Granger causality in a time series setting. The recent literature indeed witnesses an increased interest in applications of entropy-based tests in this direction. However, those tests are typically based on nonparametric entropy estimates for which the development of formal asympt...
متن کاملGranger causality and transfer entropy are equivalent for Gaussian variables.
Granger causality is a statistical notion of causal influence based on prediction via vector autoregression. Developed originally in the field of econometrics, it has since found application in a broader arena, particularly in neuroscience. More recently transfer entropy, an information-theoretic measure of time-directed information transfer between jointly dependent processes, has gained tract...
متن کاملEquivalence of Granger Causality and Transfer Entropy: A Generalization
Barnett et al. in 2009 proved that Granger causality and transfer entropy causality measure are equivalent for time series which have a Gaussian distribution. Granger causality test is linear, while transfer entropy a non-linear test. Many biological and physical mechanisms show to have non-Gaussian distributions. In this paper we investigate under which conditions on probability density distri...
متن کاملSurrogate-based test for Granger causality
A novel approach for testing the presence of Granger causality between two time series is proposed. The residue of the destination signal after self-prediction is computed, after which a crossprediction of the source signal over this residue is examined. In the absence of causality, there should be no cross-predictive power, due to which the performance of the cross-prediction system can be use...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Copula Based Test for Conditional Independence with Applications to Granger Causality
This paper proposes a new nonparametric test for conditional independence, which is based on the comparison of Bernstein copula densities using the Hellinger distance. The test is easy to implement because it does not involve a weighting function in the test statistic, and it can be applied in general settings since there is no restriction on the dimension of the data. In fact, to apply the tes...
