Telcs András (BME SZIT): Causality or something else

Causality is considered as the  holy Grail of science.   The first
step away from the concept of  deterministic causality is done by
Norbert Wiener.  He introduced the concept  of predictive causality.
Based on that concept  Clive Granger developed a parametric method for
the detection of presence of predictive causality.   While Granger's
method is able to detect one-directional causality it fails to
correctly recognize bi-directional causality and misleaded by hidden
common cause.   The lecture presents a new method which is able to
detect all the above mentioned type of causality.  The method is based
on Taken's famous embedding theorem and sophisticated  estimates of
intrinsic dimension of manifolds.
