Improvement of Symbolic Transfer Entropy
نویسنده
چکیده
A number of measures have been proposed for the direction of the coupling between two time series, and transfer entropy (TE) has been found in recent studies to perform consistently well in different settings. Symbolic transfer entropy (STE) has been very recently proposed as a variation of the transfer entropy operating on the ranks of the components of the reconstructed vectors rather than the reconstructed vectors themselves. Here, an improvement of STE is proposed. Specifically, the ranks of the samples of the response system for given time steps ahead are computed with regard to the current reconstructed vector. The grounds of this modification are given and the new measure, called Transfer Entropy on Rank Vectors (TERV), is compared to STE and TE on different settings of state space reconstruction, time series length and observational noise. The results on two simulated systems have shown that the detection of the direction and strength of coupling is improved with TERV over both STE and TE.

A New Approach to Detect Congestive Heart Failure Using Symbolic Dynamics Analysis of Electrocardiogram Signal
The aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (HR) signals. A comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ECG signals and HR signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...

متن کاملSymbolic transfer entropy rate is equal to transfer entropy rate for bivariate finite-alphabet stationary ergodic Markov processes
Transfer entropy is a measure of the magnitude and the direction of information flow between jointly distributed stochastic processes. In recent years, its permutation analogues are considered in the literature to estimate the transfer entropy by counting the number of occurrences of orderings of values, not the values themselves. It has been suggested that the method of permutation is easy to ...
متن کاملStudy of the cross-market effects of Brexit based on the improved symbolic transfer entropy GARCH model—An empirical analysis of stock–bond correlations
In this paper, we study the cross-market effects of Brexit on the stock and bond markets of nine major countries in the world. By incorporating information theory, we introduce the time-varying impact weights based on symbolic transfer entropy to improve the traditional GARCH model. The empirical results show that under the influence of Brexit, flight-to-quality not only commonly occurs between...
متن کاملInferring Weighted Directed Association Networks from Multivariate Time Series with the Small-Shuffle Symbolic Transfer Entropy Spectrum Method
Complex network methodology is very useful for complex system exploration. However, the relationships among variables in complex systems are usually not clear. Therefore, inferring association networks among variables from their observed data has been a popular research topic. We propose a method, named small-shuffle symbolic transfer entropy spectrum (SSSTES), for inferring association network...
