delta: delta test of conditional independence

Description

delta statistic of conditional independence and associated bootstrap test

Usage

delta(x, m, d = 1, eps)

delta.test( x, m = 2:3, d = 1, eps = seq(0.5 * sd(x), 2 * sd(x), length = 4), B = 49 )

Value

delta returns the computed delta statistic. delta.test

returns the bootstrap based 1-sided p-value.

Arguments

x

time series

m

vector of embedding dimensions

d

time delay

eps

vector of length scales

B

number of bootstrap replications

Warning

Results are sensible to the choice of the window eps. So, try the test for a grid of m and eps values. Also, be aware of the course of dimensionality: m can't be too high for relatively small time series. See references for further details.
