Measuring predictability: a cross-species approach
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Two recent studies, by Molet et al. (2016) and Davis et al. (in press) with rats and humans, support the hypothesis that the predictability of maternal signals influences cognitive and emotional development. Both studies use a measure of entropy rate to characterize predictability of maternal sensory signals. This document describes the common cross-species approach in which maternal sensory signals are represented as a sequence of observed behaviors and then the predictability of the sequence is measured through its entropy rate.

A QUANTILOGRAM APPROACH TO EVALUATING DIRECTIONAL PREDICTABILITY By
In this note we propose a simple method of measuring directional predictability and testing for the hypothesis that a given time series has no directional predictability. The test is based on the correlogram of quantile hits. We provide the distribution theory needed to conduct inference, propose some model free upper bound critical values, and apply our methods to stock index return data. The ...
متن کاملEffects of pitch and timing expectancy on musical emotion
Pitch and timing information work hand in hand to create a coherent piece of music; but what happens when this information goes against the norm? Relationships between musical expectancy and emotional responses were investigated in a study conducted with 40 participants: 20 musicians and 20 non-musicians. Participants took part in one of two behavioural paradigms measuring continuous expectancy...

This paper employs a general non-linear analysis tool to analyse the nature of time series associated with the price (returns) of a particular company in Tehran Stock Exchange. It is shown that the behavior of the process associated with the price (returns) time-series of this company is weakly chaotic, and due to the non-random behavior of the process, short term prediction of stock price is p...
متن کاملDynamic characterization and predictability analysis of wind speed and wind power time series in Spain wind farm
The renewable energy resources such as wind power have recently attracted more researchers’ attention. It is mainly due to the aggressive energy consumption, high pollution and cost of fossil fuels. In this era, the future fluctuations of these time series should be predicted to increase the reliability of the power network. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics and short-term predictabili...
