How to improve accuracy for DFA technique

Statistical Finance 2016-02-02 v1

Abstract

This paper extends the existing literature on empirical estimation of the confidence intervals associated to the Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA). We used Montecarlo simulation to evaluate the confidence intervals. Varying the parameters in DFA technique, we point out the relationship between those and the standard deviation of H. The parameters considered are the finite time length L, the number of divisors d used and the values of those. We found that all these parameters play a crucial role, determining the accuracy of the estimation of H.
