autocov_to_pwcgc

Calculate pairwise-conditional time-domain MVGCs (multivariate Granger causalities)

Syntax

   F = autocov_to_pwcgc(G)

Arguments

See also Common variable names and data structures.

input

   G          autocovariance sequence

output

   F          Granger causality matrix

Description

Returns the matrix F of pairwise-conditional time-domain MVGCs

(where [ij] denotes omission of the ij-th variables) between all pairs of variables represented in G, for a stationary VAR process with autocovariance sequence G. Note that the first index i of F is the target (causee) variable, the second j the source (causal) variable. See ref. [1] for details.

The caller should take note of any warnings issued by this function and test results with a call isbad|(F,false)|.
