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

Improved visibility graph fractality with application for the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder
TL;DR: It is shown that the proposed improved PSVG is less sensitive to noise and therefore more robust compared with PSVG, and used in the wavelet-chaos neural network model of Adeli and c-workers in place of the Katz fractality dimension results in a more accurate diagnosis of autism, a complicated neurological and psychiatric disorder.

A novel approach to the detection of synchronisation in EEG based on empirical mode decomposition.
TL;DR: The features of EMD are explored, including making a quantitative assessment of its ability to preserve phase content of signals, and it is shown to offer improved time-frequency localisation of synchrony and to ensure signal decomposition using EMD.

Dynamic properties of combustion instability in a lean premixed gas-turbine combustor.
TL;DR: It is shown that a nonlinear forecasting method is useful for predicting the short-term dynamic behavior of the combustion instability in a lean premixed gas-turbine combustor, which has not been addressed in the fields of combustion science and physics.

Probabilistic forecasts of the magnitude and timing of peak electricity demand
TL;DR: In this article, a model that provides probabilistic forecasts of both magnitude and timing for lead times of one year is presented, which is capable of capturing the main sources of variation in demand and uses simulated weather time series, including temperature, wind speed, and luminosity, for predicting future peak demand.

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.
