ABSTRACT
We propose a method - Frequency extracted hierarchical decomposition (FEHD) - for studying multivariate time series that identifies linear combinations of its components that possess a causally hierarchical structure - the method orders the components so that those at the "top" of the hierarchy drive those below. The method shares many of the features of the "hierarchical decomposition" method of Repucci et al. (Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 29, 1135-1149, 2001) but makes a crucial advance - the proposed method is capable of determining this causal hierarchy over arbitrarily specified frequency bands. Additionally, a novel minimization strategy is used to generate the decomposition resulting in an increase in stability, reliability, and an improvement in the sensitivity to model parameters. We demonstrate the utility of the method by applying it to both artificial time series constructed to have specific causal graphs, and to the EEG of healthy volunteers and patient subjects who are recovering from a severe brain injury.
