Can you say a bit more about Granger causality? It seems like an interesting and useful concept, but I can’t tell if it can only be used in bivariate cases, or if it has wider application than that. If it does have wider application, could you provide another example? Thanks!

I’m not sure I entirely understand what the significance tests based on the integrated squared difference between two smooth curves is really testing.
Suppose we had two curves that were exactly the same shape, but one had been translated x units up. It seems that this significance test would miss the similarity. Is there a way to test for whether the shapes are significantly different?

Is the propagation of uncertainty more complicated in bi-variate series?

When wouldn’t you be able to use the periodogram to propagate uncertainty, and have to use the methods discussed in 18.4.2? Why wouldn’t you be able to use it, and the uncertainty obtained from it?

Can you explain the bar notation in formula 18.51 on p554?

Is there any particular smoothing method for periodograms that would be better for interpreting coherence?

What would be a good statistical method to analyze the location of peaks in the periodograms? It seems like in figure 18.15 that the peaks can be relatively hidden within the 95% confidence bands.

I usually read about spike-triggered averages used to identify the functional relationship between a motor cortical neuron and the EMG of a muscle. Could Granger causality also be used in this situation to show if the neuron is causally related to the EMG?

If any, what are the differences to take in consideration between standard bootstrap procedures and bootstrapping the smoothed periodogram?

Do the rules governing bivariate time series data extend to multivariate cases?

Can you talk about Granger causality? Might this be possible to use this for EEG channels?
