Analyzing information flow in brain networks with nonparametric Granger causality
Multielectrode neurophysiological recording and high-resolution neuroimaging generate multivariate data that are the basis for understanding the patterns of neural interactions. How to extract directions of information flow in brain networks from these data remains a key challenge. Research over the last few years has identified Granger causality as a statistically principled technique to furni...
متن کاملAnalyzing Multiple Nonlinear Time Series with Extended Granger Causality
Identifying causal relations among simultaneously acquired signals is an important problem in multivariate time series analysis. For linear stochastic systems Granger proposed a simple procedure called the Granger causality to detect such relations. In this work we consider nonlinear extensions of Granger’s idea and refer to the result as Extended Granger Causality. A simple approach implementi...
متن کاملCausality and persistence in ecological systems: a nonparametric spectral granger causality approach.
Abstract Directionality in coupling, defined as the linkage relating causes to their effects at a later time, can be used to explain the core dynamics of ecological systems by untangling direct and feedback relationships between the different components of the systems. Inferring causality from measured ecological variables sampled through time remains a formidable challenge further made diffic...
متن کاملGranger Causality Networks for Categorical Time Series
We present two model-based methods for learning Granger causality networks for multivariate categorical time series. Our first proposal is based on the mixture transition distribution (MTD) model. Traditionally, MTD is plagued by a nonconvex objective, non-identifiability, and presence of many local optima. To circumvent these problems, we recast inference in the MTD as a convex problem. The ne...
متن کاملIs Granger Causality a Viable Technique for Analyzing fMRI Data?
Multivariate neural data provide the basis for assessing interactions in brain networks. Among myriad connectivity measures, Granger causality (GC) has proven to be statistically intuitive, easy to implement, and generate meaningful results. Although its application to functional MRI (fMRI) data is increasing, several factors have been identified that appear to hinder its neural interpretabilit...
