CausalityTest

An abstract type that is the supertype of all causality test types in the CausalityTools ecosystem.

The naming convention for abstract subtypes is SomeMethodTest. Examples of the type hierarchy of abstract test types could be:

• TransferEntropyTest <: CausalityTest
• CrossMappingTest <: CausalityTest

Subtypes of those abstract types are named according to the specific algorithm. Examples of complete type hierachies for specific causality test types could be:

• VisitationFrequencyTest <: TransferEntropyTest <: CausalityTest.
• TransferOperatorGridTest <: TransferEntropyTest <: CausalityTest.
• SimpleCrossMapTest <: CrossMappingTest <: CausalityTest.
• ConvergentCrossMapTest <: CrossMappingTest <: CausalityTest.
