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.read more

Constrained surrogate time series with preservation of the mean and variance structure.
TL;DR: A method is presented for generating surrogates that are constrained realizations of a time series but which preserve the local mean and variance of the original signal to test for local changes in the nonlinear properties of the signal.

Revealing Cross-Frequency Causal Interactions During a Mental Arithmetic Task Through Symbolic Transfer Entropy: A Novel Vector-Quantization Approach
TL;DR: The proposed method to estimate transfer entropy (TE) through a symbolization scheme, which is based on neural-gas algorithm (NG) and encodes a bivariate time series in the form of two symbolic sequences, was less sensitive to noise and demonstrated improved computational efficiency.

The role of nonlinearity in computing graph-theoretical properties of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging brain networks
TL;DR: A comparison of network analysis results obtained from the brain connectivity graphs capturing either full (both linear and nonlinear) or only linear connectivity using 24 sessions of human resting-state fMRI shows that the nonlinearity effect is practically negligible when compared to the intersubject variability of the graph measures.

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.
