TLDR
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.

A Two-Layered Diffusion Model Traces the Dynamics of Information Processing in the Valuation-and-Choice Circuit of Decision Making

TL;DR: Results from simulated likelihood time series indicate that 2LDM may account for the activity-dependent modulatory component of effective connectivity between the neuronal populations, andRhythmic fluctuations of the estimate gain functions in the delta-beta bands also support the compatibility of 2 LDM with the neurobiology of DM.

Chaos and complexity in mine grade distribution series detected by nonlinear approaches

TL;DR: The underlying dynamics of treating grade distribution is interpreted as a chaotic system instead of a stochastic system for a better understanding and provides considerable evidence for the being of low-dimensional chaotic dynamics underlying the mining spatial series.

Testing for nonlinearity in non-stationary physiological time series

TL;DR: This document proposes a methodology to extend the procedure for generating constrained surrogate time series in order to assess nonlinearity in non-stationary data based on the band-phase-randomized surrogates, which consists in randomizing only a portion of the Fourier phases in the high frequency domain.

Warped phase coherence: An empirical synchronization measure combining phase and amplitude information.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that adding a possibly complex constant value to this normally null-mean signal has a non-trivial warping effect, which introduces a level of sensitivity to the amplitude fluctuations and average relative phase.

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.
