Abstract

Rényi transfer entropy (RTE) is a directional measure of information transfer which is used as an instrument for causality detection in complex systems. Due to its zooming property that allows to emphasize or suppress particular parts of probability distributions, especially tails, it is widely used in financial market data analysis, where risks associated with marginal events are of big importance. In the following chapter we introduce transfer entropy by means of the Rényi family of information entropies, which contains Shannon entropy as a special case. Further, we discuss estimation of RTE and test it on coupled autoregressive processes (AR). The latter serves as a toy model for S&P 500 index explicitly dependent on stock prices of 500 largest companies in the United States. We conclude by estimating information transfer between 5 companies (Microsoft, Apple, Tesla, Visa and ExxonMobil) and the index in both directions. Results show that transfer entropy from stocks to the index is higher than in the opposite direction, which confirms expected causality.
