Disentangling synchrony from serial dependency in paired event time series


Abstract in English

Quantifying synchronization phenomena based on the timing of events has recently attracted a great deal of interest in various disciplines such as neuroscience or climatology. A multitude of similarity measures has been proposed for this purpose, including Event Synchronization (ES) and Event Coincidence Analysis (ECA) as two widely applicable examples. While ES defines synchrony in a data adaptive local way that does not distinguish between different time scales, ECA requires selecting a specific scale for analysis. In this paper, we use slightly modifi
