Compare long range dependence among non-stationary multivariate time series'
I have 5 non-stationary multivariate time series' and I need to compare the "strength" of long range dependence among them. I have found many papers on long range dependence estimation (parametric, ...

How to simulate anomalous diffusion of a 1D point like particle?
I want to simulate 3 types of diffusion processes:
normal diffusion $[\langle x^2(t)\rangle \propto t ]$.
subdiffusion $[\langle x^2(t)\rangle \propto t^\alpha ; \alpha<1 ]$
superdiffusion $[\...

Hausdorff (fractal) Dimension of a Stochastic Process
It is well known that Brownian motion (BM) has a Hausdorff dimension (ie fractal dimension) of 2, for topological dimension >= 2. In other words, BM always "behaves like" a plane surface, no matter ...

Generalized Hurst Exponent - What value to specify for $\tau_{\max}$?
Consider a time series $X: S \to \mathbb{R}$, where $S := \{\nu, 2\nu, 3\nu, \ldots T\}$, and $T$ is a multiple of $\nu > 0$. For each $\tau \in (0, \tau_{\max}] \cap S$ and $q \in \mathbb{N}$, ...

What are the known, existing practical applications of chaos theory in data mining?
While casually reading some mass market works on chaos theory over the last few years I began to wonder how various aspects of it could be applied to data mining and related fields, like neural nets, ...

Intensity of fractional Gaussian noise
I try to understand the 2nd formula stated in the picture. It yields the intensity/volatility of an fGN process. It depends solely on H ?? Why is that?
How is this volatility different from simply ...

Quantification of the extent of periodicity in a time series using fractal analyses
I need metrics to quantify the extent of periodicity between of a time series (for comparison with other time series), considering the time series is almost periodic. By almost periodic I mean: if I ...

Why is generating fractional Brownian motion (fBm) so complicated?
An fBm is characterized by a power spectrum $P(f) = Cf^{-(2H + 1)}$ with $0 < H < 1$ being the Hurst parameter. Why can't I just take the square root of the power spectrum $P(f) = Cf^{-\alpha}$,...

Finding parameters in power spectral density function
I have a process where $z$ varies with $x$. $z$ is well described by a fractal function given by
$z(x)= K \Big( \frac{H}{K} \Big)^{D-1} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} cos\Big(\frac{2 \pi \beta^n x}{K}\Big) \...

Assumptions for Hurst exponent calculation
Are there any general assumptions for the calculation of the Hurst exponent?
Does the signal need to be stationary, for example?
Does it depend on the method?
What about the length of the time ...
