Nonlinear causal influences assessed by mutual compression entropy

Autonomic control of the heart rate was demonstrated to be complex and nonlinear. Respiratory sinus arrhythima plays a crucial role in heart rate vagal modulation. Here we present an approach of assessing nonlinear causal relationships in bivariate time series, called mutual compression entropy (MCE...
