Effect of trends on detrended fluctuation analysis.
TLDR
It is shown how to use DFA appropriately to minimize the effects of trends, how to recognize if a crossover indicates indeed a transition from one type to a different type of underlying correlation, or if the crossover is due to a trend without any transition in the dynamical properties of the noise.Abstract:
scaling behavior. We find that crossovers result from the competition between the scaling of the noise and the ‘‘apparent’’ scaling of the trend. We study how the characteristics of these crossovers depend on ~i! the slope of the linear trend; ~ii! the amplitude and period of the periodic trend; ~iii! the amplitude and power of the power-law trend, and ~iv! the length as well as the correlation properties of the noise. Surprisingly, we find that the crossovers in the scaling of noisy signals with trends also follow scaling laws—i.e., long-range power-law dependence of the position of the crossover on the parameters of the trends. We show that the DFA result of noise with a trend can be exactly determined by the superposition of the separate results of the DFA on the noise and on the trend, assuming that the noise and the trend are not correlated. If this superposition rule is not followed, this is an indication that the noise and the superposed trend are not independent, so that removing the trend could lead to changes in the correlation properties of the noise. In addition, we show how to use DFA appropriately to minimize the effects of trends, how to recognize if a crossover indicates indeed a transition from one type to a different type of underlying correlation, or if the crossover is due to a trend without any transition in the dynamical properties of the noise.read more

Dynamical glucometry: use of multiscale entropy analysis in diabetes.
TL;DR: The findings support consideration of a new framework, dynamical glucometry, to guide mechanistic research and to help assess and compare therapeutic interventions, which should enhance complexity of glucose fluctuations and not just lower mean and variance of blood glucose levels.

Exploiting Nonlinear Recurrence and Fractal Scaling Properties for Voice Disorder Detection
TL;DR: This paper introduced recurrence and fractal scaling, which overcome the range limitations of existing tools by addressing directly these two symptoms of disorder, and a simple bootstrapped classifier distinguishes normal from disordered voices to 91.8% overall accuracy on a large database of subjects with a wide variety of voice disorders.

Multifractal temporally weighted detrended fluctuation analysis and its application in the analysis of scaling behavior in temperature series
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a multifractal temporally weighted detrended fluctuation analysis (TWDFA) for smoothing the log-log plot of the fluctuation function F(s) versus the scale s, so that local effects can be taken into consideration and crossover timescales can be effectively detected.

Comparison of fractal and power spectral EEG features: Effects of topography and sleep stages
TL;DR: It is found that cross-correlations between fractal and spectral measures as well as between H and ΔD exhibit specific topographic and sleep stage-related characteristics, suggesting that assessing multifractality might be an adequate approach for compact modeling of brain activities.

Complexity–entropy analysis of daily stream flow time series in the continental United States
TL;DR: This study explores the applicability of CECP in hydrological studies by analyzing 80 daily stream flow time series recorded in the continental United States during a period of 75 years, surrogate sequences simulated by autoregressive models, Theiler amplitude adjusted Fourier transform and Theiler phase randomization, and a set of signals drawn from nonlinear dynamic systems.

TL;DR: This work analyzes two classes of controls consisting of patchy nucleotide sequences generated by different algorithms--one without and one with long-range power-law correlations, finding that both types of sequences are quantitatively distinguishable by an alternative fluctuation analysis method.

Quantification of scaling exponents and crossover phenomena in nonstationary heartbeat time series
TL;DR: A new method--detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA)--for quantifying this correlation property in non-stationary physiological time series is described and application of this technique shows evidence for a crossover phenomenon associated with a change in short and long-range scaling exponents.

Detecting long-range correlations with detrended fluctuation analysis
TL;DR: It is shown that deviations from scaling which appear at small time scales become stronger in higher orders of detrended fluctuation analysis, and a modified DFA method is suggested to remove them.

Estimators for long-range dependence: an empirical study
TL;DR: In this paper, various methods for estimating the self-similarity parameter and/or the intensity of long-range dependence in a time series are available. But some of these methods are more reliable than others.
