  • Abstract

Reconstructing faithfully causal networks from observed time series data is fundamental to revealing the intrinsic nature of complex systems. With the increase of the network scale, indirect causal relations will arise due to causation transitivity but existing methods suffer from dimension curse in eliminating such indirect influences. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to overcome the difficulties by integrating the idea of randomly distributed embedding into conditional Granger causality. Validated by both benchmark and synthetic data sets, our method demonstrates potential applicability in reconstructing high-dimensional causal networks based only on a short-term time series.
