The Hurst coefficient $H$ of a stochastic fractal signal is estimated using the function $\sigma_{MA}^2=\frac{1}{N_{max}-n}\sum_{i=n}^{N_{max}} [y(i)-\widetilde{y}_n(i)]^2$, where $\widetilde{y}_n(i)$ is defined as $1/n \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}…

A fractal bears a complex structure that is reflected in a scaling hierarchy, indicating that there are far more small things than large ones. This scaling hierarchy can be effectively derived using head/tail breaks - a clustering and…
