Compensated Transfer Entropy as a Tool for Reliably Estimating Information Transfer in Physiological Time Series

Compensated Transfer Entropy as a Tool for Reliably Estimating Information Transfer in Physiological Time Series

We present a framework for the estimation of transfer entropy (TE) under the conditions typical of physiological system analysis, featuring short multivariate time series and the presence of instantaneous causality (IC). The framework is based on recognizing that TE can be interpreted as the differe...
