    Spectral Differential Network Analysis for High-Dimensional Time Series arXiv:2412.07905v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spectral networks derived from multivariate time series data arise in many domains, from brain science to Earth science. Often, it is of interest to study how these networks change under different conditions. For instance, to better understand epilepsy, it would be interesting…
