Detecting direct causality in multivariate time series: a comparative study
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: The concept of Granger causality is increasingly being applied for the characterization of directional interactions in different applications. A multivariate framework for estimating Granger causality is essential in order to account for all the available information from multivariate time series. However, the inclusion of non-informative or non-significant variables creates estimation problems related to the 'curse of dimensionality'. To deal with this issue, direct causality measures using variable selection and dimension reduction techniques have been introduced. In this comparative work, the performance of an ensemble of bivariate and multivariate causality measures in the time domain is assessed, focusing on dimension reduction causality measures. In particular, different types of high-dimensional coupled discrete systems are used (involving up to 100 variables) and the robustness of the causality measures to time series length and different noise types is examined. The results of the simulation study highlight the superiority of the dimension reduction measures, especially for high-dimensional systems.
