Abstract: 

The problem of determination of the presence and directionality of coupling between oscillatory systems only from their time realizations is considered. One of the efficient «nonlinear» approaches to its solution is based on calculation of the phases of oscillations from the observed signals and construction of a model map describing the phase dynamics, whose properties allow coupling characterization. The approach was justified theoretically for weakly nonlinear and weakly coupled phase oscillators under the influence of normal white noise. In this work, we find out practical limits of applicability of the approach in numerical experiment (for different properties of noise and different values of phase nonlinearity and coupling intensity). Applicability of the employed working formulas for coupling estimators in a wide range of situations is shown.
