Using mutual information to measure time lags from nonlinear processes in astronomy
Measuring time lags between time series or light curves at different wavelengths from a variable or transient source in astronomy is an essential probe of physical mechanisms causing multiwavelength variability. Time lags are typically quantified using discrete correlation functions (DCFs), which ar...
