Abstract

Surrogate data testing is a method frequently applied to evaluate the results of nonlinear time series analysis. Since the null hypothesis tested against is a linear, gaussian, stationary stochastic process a positive outcome may not only result from an underlying nonlinear or even chaotic system, but also from e.g. a non-stationary linear one. We investigate the power of the test against non-stationarity.
