Detection of coupling delay: A problem not yet solved

Abstract: Nonparametric detection of coupling delay in unidirectionally and bidirectionally coupled nonlinear dynamical systems is examined. Both continuous and discrete-time systems are considered. Two methods of detection are assessed-the method based on conditional mutual information-the CMI method (also known as the transfer entropy method) and the method of convergent cross mapping-the CCM method. Computer simulations show that neither method is generally reliable in the detection of coupling delays. For continuous… Show more

“…As pointed out in the introduction, this is a potentially important application of transfer entropy, especially in neuroscience [1,16]. Since it is still actively debated whether or not this method is reliable [24], it is sensible to perform numerical tests on well-controlled dynamical systems, even as simple as the present one.…”

“…In contrast, ρ causal ccm ≤ 0 implied that there was no detectable causal effect. We chose this conservative approach to limit the likelihood of false positives; we did not infer strict causal delays, which might be biased [44], but limited our interpretation to causal directionality. Our lagged causality test (Fig.…”

“…CCM [5,14] is a method for detecting causality between two systems represented by time series. CCM is based on Takens' embedding theorem, exploiting the geometry of attractors of coupled dynamical systems and constructs a map between mutual neighborhoods in state spaces of the coupled dynamical systems under study.…”
