چکیده

As one of the most successful approaches to uncover complex network structures from experimental data, Granger causality has been widely applied to various reverse engineering problems. This chapter first reviews some current developments of Granger causality and then presents the graphical user interface (GUI) to facilitate the application. To make Granger causality more computationally feasible and satisfy biophysical constraints for dealing with increasingly large dynamical datasets, two attempts are introduced including the combination of Granger causality and Basis Pursuit when faced with nonuniformly sampled data and the unification of Granger causality and the Dynamic Causal Model as a novel Unified Causal Model (UCM) to bring in the notion of stimuli and modifying coupling. Several examples, both from toy models and real experimental data, are included to demonstrate the efficacy and power of the Granger causality approach.

Stock Market Interactions between the BRICS and the United States: Evidence from Asymmetric Granger Causality Tests in the Frequency Domain

The interaction of BRICS stock markets with the United States is studied using an asymmetric Granger causality test based on the frequency domain. This type of analysis allows for both positive and negative shocks over different horizons. There is a clear bivariate causality that runs both ways between the United States stock market and the respective BRICS markets. In addition, both negative a...
