A Non-Parametric Independence Test Using Permutation Entropy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present paper we construct a new, simple and powerful test for independence by using symbolic dynamics and permutation entropy as a measure of serial dependence. We also give the asymptotic distribution of an affine transformation of the permutation entropy under the null hypothesis of independence. An application to several daily financial time series illustrates our approach.

A nonparametric independence test using random permutations
We propose a new nonparametric test for the supposition of independence between two continuous random variables X and Y. Given a sample of (X,Y ), the test is based on the size of the longest increasing subsequence of the permutation which maps the ranks of the X observations to the ranks of the Y observations. We identify the independence assumption between the two continuous variables with th...
متن کاملBootstrap and permutation tests of independence for point processes
Motivated by a neuroscience question about synchrony detection in spike train analysis, we deal with the independence testing problem for point processes. We introduce non-parametric test statistics, which are rescaled general U -statistics, whose corresponding critical values are constructed from bootstrap and randomization/permutation approaches, making as few assumptions as possible on the u...

متن کاملMAXENPER: a program for maximum entropy spectral estimation with assessment of statistical significance by the permutation test
The maximum entropy spectral estimator is widely used because of its high spectral resolution, but it lacks an easy procedure for evaluating the statistical significance of the spectral estimates. We implemented the non-parametric computer intensive permutation test in order to evaluate the statistical significance of the maximum entropy spectral estimates. There is the possibility of choosing ...
متن کاملOn Small Sample Properties of Permutation Tests: a Significance Test for Regression Models*
In this paper, we consider a nonparametric permutation test on the correlation coefficient, which is applied to a significance test on regression coefficients. Because the permutation test is very computerintensive, there are few studies on small-sample properties, although we have numerous studies on asymptotic properties with regard to various aspects. In this paper, we aim to compare the per...
