It is shown that nonlinear rescalings of a Gaussian linear stochastic process cannot be accounted for by a simple amplitude adjustment of the surrogates which leads to spurious detection of nonlinearity.
Abstract
Current tests for nonlinearity compare a time series to the null hypothesis of a Gaussian linear stochastic process. For this restricted null assumption, random surrogates can be constructed which are constrained by the linear properties of the data. We propose a more general null hypothesis allowing for nonlinear rescalings of a Gaussian linear process. We show that such rescalings cannot be accounted for by a simple amplitude adjustment of the surrogates which leads to spurious detection of nonlinearity. An iterative algorithm is proposed to make appropriate surrogates which have the same autocorrelations as the data and the same probability distribution.

Nonlinear dynamical analysis of periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges.

TL;DR: The results showed that D2 estimations for PLEDs were low, on the order of one, and that the results for EEG and the surrogate data were clearly different, indicating that the EEG withPLEDs reflects nonlinear dynamics of the underlying neural networks.

Cortical maturation from childhood to adolescence is reflected in resting state EEG signal complexity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined multiscale entropy, a measure of signal complexity, in resting-state EEGs in a large (N = 405) cross-sectional sample of children and adolescents (9-16 years).

Constrained-realization Monte-Carlo method for hypothesis testing

TL;DR: The typical-realization approach, on the other hand, does not share this requirement, and can provide an accurate and powerful test without having to sacrifice flexibility in the choice of discriminating statistic, and is found to depend on whether or not the discriminating statistic is pivotal.
