Abstract:
      The general mutual information (GMI) and general conditional mutual information (GCMI) are considered to measure lag dependences in nonlinear time series. Both of the measures have the property of invariance with transform. The statistics based on GMI and GCMI are estimated using the correlation integral. Under the hypothesis of independent series, the estimators have Gaussian asymptotic distributions. Simulations applied to generated nonlinear series demonstrate that the methods appear to find frequently the correct lags.
