• Abstract: We introduce large-scale Augmented Granger Causality (lsAGC) as a method for connectivity analysis in complex systems. The lsAGC algorithm combines dimension reduction with source time-series augmentation and uses predictive time-series modeling for estimating directed causal relationships among time-series. This method is a multivariate approach, since it is capable of identifying the influence of each time-series on any other time-series in the presence of all other time-series of the underlying dynamic system. We quantitatively evaluate the performance of lsAGC on synthetic directional time-series networks with known ground truth. As a reference method, we compare our results with cross-correlation, which is typically used as a standard measure of connectivity in the functional MRI (fMRI) literature. Using extensive simulations for a wide range of time-series lengths and two different signal-to-noise ratios of 5 and 15 dB, lsAGC consistently outperforms cross-correlation at accurately detecting network connections, using Receiver Operator Characteristic Curve (ROC) analysis, across all tested time-series lengths and noise levels. In addition, as an outlook to possible clinical application, we perform a preliminary qualitative analysis of connectivity matrices for fMRI data of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) patients and typical controls, using a subset of 59 subjects of the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange II (ABIDE II) data repository. Our results suggest that lsAGC, by extracting sparse connectivity matrices, may be useful for network analysis in complex systems, and may be applicable to clinical fMRI analysis in future research, such as targeting disease-related classification or regression tasks on clinical data.

  Anomaly detection for indoor air quality (IAQ) data has become an important area of research as the quality of air is closely related to human health and well-being. Traditional statistics and machine learning-based approaches in anomaly detection in the IAQ area could not detect anomalies involving the observation of correlations across several data points. We propose a hybrid deep learning model that combines LSTM with Autoencoder for anomaly detection tasks in IAQ to address this issue.
