Networks with time structure from time series

We propose a method of constructing a network, in which its time structure is directly incorporated, based on a deterministic model from a time series. To construct such a network, we transform a linear model containing terms with different time delays into network topology. The terms in the model are translated into temporal nodes of the network. On each link connecting these nodes, we assign a positive real number representing the strength of relationship, or the "distance," between nodes specified by the parameters of the model. The method is demonstrated by a known system and applied to two actual time series.
