Multivariate Granger Causality and Generalized Variance

Authors: Adam B. Barrett, Lionel Barnett, Anil K. Seth

arXiv

Granger causality analysis is a popular method for inference on directed interactions in complex systems of many variables. A shortcoming of the standard framework for Granger causality is that it onl...

Eigenvalue Distributions for a Class of Covariance Matrices with Applications to Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro Neurons Under Noisy Conditions

Authors: Armndop Bazzani, Gastone C. Castellani, Leon N. Cooper

arXiv

We analyze the effects of noise correlations in the input to, or among, BCM neurons using the Wigner semicircular law to construct random, positive-definite symmetric correlation matrices and comput...

Complex networks: new trends for the analysis of brain connectivity

Authors: Mario Chavez, Miguel Valencia, Vito Latora, Jacques Martinerie

arXiv

Today, the human brain can be studied as a whole. Electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, or functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques provide functional connectivity patterns between...

Coaching the Wii : evaluation of a physical training experiment assisted by a video game

Authors: Sylvain Hanneton, Anaïs Varenne

arXiv

Aging or sedentary behavior can decrease motor capabilities causing a loss of autonomy. Prevention or readaptation programs that involve practice of physical activities can be precious tools to figh...

Adaptive LASSO-type estimation for ergodic diffusion processes

Authors: A. De Gregorio, S. M. Iacus

arXiv

The LASSO is a widely used statistical methodology for simultaneous estimation and variable selection. In the last years, many authors analyzed this technique from a theoretical and applied point of...

Monitoring Procedures to Detect Unit Roots and Stationarity

Authors: Ansgar Steland

arXiv

When analysing time series an important issue is to decide whether the time series is stationary or a random walk. Relaxing these notions, we consider the problem to decide in favor of the I(0)- or...

Entropy analyses of spatiotemporal synchronizations in brain signals from patients with focal epilepsies

Authors: Caglar Tuncay

arXiv

The electroencephalographic (EEG) data intracerebrally recorded from 20 epileptic humans with different brain origins of focal epilepsies or types of seizures, ages and sexes are investigated (nearl...

The Three Doors Problem...-s

Authors: Richard D. Gill

arXiv

I argue that we must distinguish between: (0) the Three-Doors-Problem Problem [sic], which is to make sense of some real world question of a real person. (1) a large number of solutions to this...

Cognition and Emotion: Perspectives of a Closing Gap

Authors: Claudius Gros

arXiv

The primary tasks of a cognitive system is to survive and to maximize a life-long utility function, like the number of offsprings. A direct computational maximization of life-long utility is however...

The exp-$G$ family of probability distributions

Authors: Wagner Barreto-Souza, Alexandre B. Simas

arXiv

In this paper we introduce a new method to add a parameter to a family of distributions. The additional parameter is completely studied and a full description of its behaviour in the distribution is g...

Strategic Random Networks: Why Social Networking Technology Matters

Authors: Benjamin Golub, Yair Livne

arXiv

This paper develops strategic foundations for an important statistical model of random networks with heterogeneous expected degrees. Based on this, we show how social networking services that subtly a...

From modes to movement in the behavior of C. elegans

Authors: Greg J Stephens, Bethany Johnson-Kerner, William Bialek, William S Ryu

arXiv

Organisms move through the world by changing their shape, and here we explore the mapping from shape space to movements in the nematode C. elegans as it crawls on a planar agar surface. We character...

Asymptotic equivalence and sufficiency for volatility estimation under microstructure noise

Authors: Markus Reiß

arXiv

The basic model for high-frequency data in finance is considered, where an efficient price process is observed under microstructure noise. It is shown that this nonparametric model is in Le Cam's se...
