Cross-Correlation Matrices for Tests of Independence and Causality Between Two Multivariate Time Series
用于检验两组多变量时间序列独立性与因果关系的交叉相关矩阵
An often-studied problem in time series analysis is that of testing for the independence of two (potentially multivariate) time series. Toeplitz matrices have demonstrated utility for the related setting of time series goodness-of-fit testing—ergo, herein, we extend those concepts by defining a nontrivial block Toeplitz matrix for use in the setting of independence testing. We propose test statistics based on the trace of the square of the matrix and determinant of the…
