Table 3. Results of hypothesis testing of information transfer between leaders and followers.

Columns 3 and 4 report the results of one-sided two-sample Wilcoxon rank-sum tests with continuity correction (p-value and W statistic) testing if the experimental dataset has significantly higher transfer entropy than the surrogate one. Columns 5 and 6 report the results of one-sided paired Wilcoxon signed-rank tests with continuity correction (p-value and V statistic) testing, respectively, if the leader is significantly more informative than the follower and vice versa. Significant p-values are reported in bold.
