transfer_entropy_test: Compute a Transfer Entropy Test

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s)

Description

Given an x (predictor) and y (response) variable, determine if x causes way at the given lag. Uses conditional mutual information to assess The Null Hypothesis (H0) is that Time series x does not cause time series y, and the Alternative Hypothesis (HA): Time series x causes time series y

Usage

1
transfer_entropy_test(x, y, alpha = 0.05, max_lag = 1)

Arguments

x

Predictor variable (can be a vector)

y

Response variable (can be a vector)

alpha

the significance level

max_lag

the maximum number of lags to be considered

Value

A T/F value - this means that the conditional information is less than the significance level alpha for all the considered lags.
