Pros

  • +g
  • +Related to: time-series-analysis, econometrics

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Granger Causality

Developers should learn Granger causality when working with time-series data to identify predictive relationships, such as in financial forecasting, climate modeling, or analyzing sensor data in IoT applications

Pros

  • +It is particularly useful for building predictive models, feature selection, and understanding dynamic systems where traditional correlation might be misleading, but it requires careful interpretation due to its limitations in establishing definitive causation
  • +Related to: time-series-analysis, statistical-hypothesis-testing

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Cointegration if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Granger Causality if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for building predictive models, feature selection, and understanding dynamic systems where traditional correlation might be misleading, but it requires careful interpretation due to its limitations in establishing definitive causation over what Cointegration offers.

The Bottom Line
Cointegration wins

Developers should learn cointegration when working on quantitative finance applications, such as algorithmic trading, risk management, or economic forecasting, where understanding long-term relationships between assets (e
