Why the study?
Applying the partial information decomposition framework to dynamic processes remains challenging because of the implicit assumption of memorylessness.

May inform scale-specific analysis of cardiac networks; leaves open validation in clinical datasets before any use.
The PIRD framework provides a novel computational method to analyze dynamic information exchange in complex physiological networks by accounting for temporal statistical structure and spectral content.
Sparacino et al. (2025) studied this question. Partial Information Rate Decomposition (PIRD) vs. Partial Information Decomposition (PID) was evaluated. Partial Information Rate Decomposition (PIRD) extended partial information decomposition to random processes with temporal correlations, revealing scale-specific higher-order interactions.
