A sparsity test for multivariate Hawkes processes
多元 Hawkes 过程的稀疏性检验
Multivariate Hawkes processes (MHP) are a class of point processes in which events at different coordinates interact through mutual excitation. The weighted adjacency matrix of the MHP encodes the strength of the relations, and shares its support with the causal graph of interactions of the process. We consider the problem of testing for causal relationships across the dimensions of a marked MHP. The null hypothesis is that a joint group of adjacency coefficients are null,…
