Inferring coupling among interacting units or quantifying their synchronization based on the timing of discrete events has vast applications in neuroscience, climate, or economics. Here, we focus on two prominent concepts that have been widely used in the past - event synchronization (ES) and event coincidence analysis (ECA). Numerical performance studies for two different types of spreading processes on paradigmatic network architectures reveal that both methods are generally suitable for correctly identifying the unknown links. By further applying both concepts to spatiotemporal climate datasets, we demonstrate that unlike ECA, ES systematically underestimates linkages in the presence of temporal event clustering, which needs to be accounted for in network reconstruction from data. In turn, for spike train data from multi-channel EEG recordings (with relatively narrow inter-event time distributions), the obtained results are practically indistinguishable. Our findings allow deriving practical recommendations for suitable data preprocessing in the context of network inference and synchronization assessment from event data.
