Conditional Independence Testing in Time Series
时间序列中的条件独立检验
We consider the problem of testing Granger causality in time series, specifically, whether the future outcome $Y_{t+1}$ and the exposure history $\bar X_t$ are conditionally independent given the history of $\bar Y_t$ and a set of confounding variables $\bar Z_t$ up to time $t$. This testing procedure distinguishes true causal effects from associations driven by common external processes, supporting reliable decision-makings in applications such as finance, neuroscience, and…
