An approach is proposed for inferring Granger causality between jointly stationary, Gaussian signals from quantized data. First, a necessary and sufficient rank criterion for the equality of two conditional Gaussian distributions is proved. Assuming a partial finite-order Markov property, conditions are then derived under which Granger causality between them can be reliably inferred from the second order moments of the quantized processes. A necessary and sufficient condition is proposed for Granger causality inference under binary quantization. Furthermore, sufficient conditions are introduced to infer Granger causality between jointly Gaussian signals through measurements quantized via non-uniform, uniform or high resolution quantizers. This approach does not require the statistics of the underlying Gaussian signals to be estimated, or a system model to be identified. No assumptions are made on the identifiability of the jointly Gaussian random processes through the quantized observations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by simulation results.
In the study of complex physical and biological systems represented by multivariate stochastic processes, an issue of great relevance is the description of the system dynamics spanning multiple temporal scales. While methods to assess the dynamic com
Granger causality is a statistical notion of causal influence based on prediction via vector autoregression. For Gaussian variables it is equivalent to transfer entropy, an information-theoretic measure of time-directed information transfer between j
Networked dynamic systems are often abstracted as directed graphs, where the observed system processes form the vertex set and directed edges are used to represent non-zero transfer functions. Recovering the exact underlying graph structure of such a
Continuous, automated surveillance systems that incorporate machine learning models are becoming increasingly more common in healthcare environments. These models can capture temporally dependent changes across multiple patient variables and can enha
Climate system teleconnections, which are far-away climate responses to perturbations or oscillations, are difficult to quantify, yet understanding them is crucial for improving climate predictability. Here we leverage Granger causality in a novel me
