New statistical method developed for long-memory time series graphical models

Researchers have developed a new statistical method for testing conditional independence in the graphical structure of stationary Gaussian time series, particularly addressing the challenge of long-memory data. This approach utilizes a data-adaptive test statistic and establishes a finite-sample Gaussian approximation bound applicable to both short- and long-memory series. The procedure is robust, employing a block bootstrap method for validity even in ultra-high-dimensional scenarios, and includes a consistency-empowering correction to ensure asymptotic accuracy in size and power. The method was successfully applied to real-world functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to analyze functional connectivities within the brain. AI

IMPACT This research advances statistical methods for analyzing complex time series data, potentially improving the accuracy of models used in fields like neuroscience.

    High-dimensional Gaussian Graphical Model Testing for Long-Memory Time Series

    arXiv:2609.30565v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many real-world high-dimensional time series exhibit long-memory, but Gaussian graphical model testing in this regime remains understudied. We develop a direct, data-adaptive test statistic for assessing conditional independence i…
