Trivariate Granger causality analysis seeks to distinguish between "true" causality and "spurious" causality results from the topology of the system. However, this analysis is sensitive both to the choice of test criteria and the presence…

To extract the relevant features in a given dataset is a difficult task, recently resolved in the non-negative data case with the Non-negative Matrix factorization (NMF) method. The objective of this research work is to extend this method…

We present a new method for linear and nonlinear, lagged and contemporaneous constraint-based causal discovery from observational time series in the presence of latent confounders. We show that existing causal discovery methods such as FCI…
