A basic systems question concerns the concept of closure, meaning autonomomy (closed) in the sense of describing the (sub)system as fully consistent within itself. Alternatively, the system may be nonautonomous (open) meaning it receives influence from an outside coupling subsystem. Information flow, and related causation inference, are tenant on this simple concept. We take the perspective of Weiner-Granger causality, descriptive of a subsystem forecast quality dependence on considering states of another subsystem. Here we develop a new direct analytic discussion, rather than a data oriented approach. That is, we refer to the underlying Frobenius-Perron transfer operator that moderates evolution of densities of ensembles of orbits, and two alternative forms of the restricted Frobenius-Perron (FP) operator, interpreted as if either closed (determinstic FP) or not closed (the unaccounted outside influence seems stochastic and correspondingly the stochastic FP operator). From this follows contrasting the kernels of the variants of the operators, as if densities in their own rights. However, the corresponding differential entropy to compare by Kulback-Leibler divergence, as one would when leading to transfer entropy, becomes ill-defined. Instead we build our Forecastability Quality Metric (FQM) upon the symmetrized variant known as Jensen-Shanon divergence, and also we are able to point out several useful resulting properties that result. We illustrate the FQM by a simple coupled chaotic system. For now, this analysis is a new theoretical direction, but we describe data oriented directions for the future.
For a known weak signal in additive white noise, the asymptotic performance of a locally optimum processor (LOP) is shown to be given by the Fisher information (FI) of a standardized even probability density function (PDF) of noise in three cases: (i
We use flicker-noise spectroscopy (FNS), a phenomenological method for the analysis of time and spatial series operating on structure functions and power spectrum estimates, to identify and study harmful chatter vibrations in a regenerative turning p
The problem of reconstructing nonlinear and complex dynamical systems from measured data or time series is central to many scientific disciplines including physical, biological, computer, and social sciences, as well as engineering and economics. In
We provide a variable metric stochastic approximation theory. In doing so, we provide a convergence theory for a large class of online variable metric methods including the recently introduced onli
Tractable models of human perception have proved to be challenging to build. Hand-designed models such as MS-SSIM remain popular predictors of human image quality judgements due to their simplicity and speed. Recent modern deep learning approaches ca
