Then filter the data down to periods at and after a finite period after those causes (e.g. news events), and look for the signature for a finite period of time within which you posit the signature should occur. Do the same for all other times and see how often the signature occurs, taking care not to double count overlapping periods, which could easily if you defined the signature to merely occur `someday'. You should see enrichment of the signature to the cause. If you see it for both the `caused' and `non-caused' periods, then all you have is a story.
