/**
*
* <p>
* Implements a conditional transfer entropy calculator using model of
* Gaussian variables with linear interactions.
* This is equivalent (up to a multiplicative constant) to
* (a conditional) Granger causality (see Barnett et al., below).
* This is achieved by plugging in {@link ConditionalMutualInfoCalculatorMultiVariateGaussian}
* as the calculator into {@link ConditionalTransferEntropyCalculatorViaCondMutualInfo}.
* </p>
*
* <p>
* Usage:
* <ol>
* <li>Construct: {@link #ConditionalTransferEntropyCalculatorGaussian()}</li>
* <li>Set properties: {@link #setProperty(String, String)} for each relevant property, including those
* of either {@link ConditionalTransferEntropyCalculatorViaCondMutualInfo#setProperty(String, String)}
* or {@link ConditionalMutualInfoCalculatorMultiVariateGaussian#setProperty(String, String)}.</li>
* <li>Initialise: by calling one of {@link #initialise()} etc.</li>
* <li>Add observations to construct the PDFs: {@link #setObservations(double[], double[], double[][])},
* or [{@link #startAddObservations()},
* {@link #addObservations(double[], double[], double[][])}*, {@link #finaliseAddObservations()}]
* Note: If not using setObservations(), the results from computeLocal
* will be concatenated directly, and getSignificance will mix up observations
* from separate trials (added in separate {@link #addObservations(double[])} calls.</li>
* <li>Compute measures: e.g. {@link #computeAverageLocalOfObservations()} or
* {@link #computeLocalOfPreviousObservations()} etc </li>
* </ol>
* </p>
