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

Executive Function as an Interaction-Dominant Process
TL;DR: This article examined the hand motions of preschool-age participants gathered during an executive-function task, card sorting, for evidence of multiplicative interactions across temporal scales, and found that removing multiscale effects via IAAFT led to a significant change in the width of the multifractal spectrum, an indicator of multicative interactions.

Technical note: Stochastic simulation of streamflow time series using phase randomization
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine phase randomization simulation with a flexible, four-parameter kappa distribution, which allows for the extrapolation to as yet unobserved low and high flows.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the properties of the velocity increment distributions for wakes of contrasting local Reynolds number and nature of generation (a cylinder wake and a multiscale-forced case, respectively).

Delayed mutual information infers patterns of synaptic connectivity in a proprioceptive neural network
TL;DR: This paper combines the use of an information theoretic approach with intracellular recording to establish patterns of connections between layers of interneurons in a neural network responsible for mediating reflex movements of the hind limb of an insect.

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.
