Abstract

Closed-form expressions, parametrized by the Hurst exponent HH and the length nn of a time series, are derived for paths of fractional Brownian motion (fBm) and fractional Gaussian noise (fGn) in the AT\mathcal{A}-\mathcal{T} plane, composed of the fraction of turning points T\mathcal{T} and the Abbe value A\mathcal{A}. The exact formula for AfBm\mathcal{A}_{\rm fBm} is expressed via Riemann ζ\zeta and Hurwitz ζ\zeta functions. A very accurate approximation, yielding a simple exponential form, is obtained. Finite-size effects, introduced by the deviation of fGn's variance from unity, and asymptotic cases are discussed. Expressions for T\mathcal{T} for fBm, fGn, and differentiated fGn are also presented. The same methodology, valid for any Gaussian process, is applied to autoregressive moving average processes, for which regions of availability of the AT\mathcal{A}-\mathcal{T} plane are derived and given in analytic form. Locations in the AT\mathcal{A}-\mathcal{T} plane of some real-world examples as well as generated data are discussed for illustration.
