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

Resting state MEG oscillations show long-range temporal correlations of phase synchrony that break down during finger movement.

TL;DR: It is found that the resting state MEG from left and right motor cortices shows moment-to-moment fluctuations of phase difference with a similar temporal structure to that of a system of Kuramoto oscillators just prior to its critical level of coupling, and that finger tapping moves the system away from this pre-critical state toward a more random state.

Do vegetation patch spatial patterns disrupt the spatial organization of plant species

TL;DR: This study examined the spatial patterns of species diversity within a network of patches in Cabo de Gata Natural Park, southeastern Spain to understand how the spatial heterogeneity of species composition varies in a structured landscape, and how the long-range spatial autocorrelation of plant species is affected by the spatial configuration of patches.

Detrended fluctuation analysis of autoregressive processes
TL;DR: In this paper, a first order autoregressive model was investigated by DFA and established the relationship between the interaction constant of AR(1) and the DFA correlation exponent.

Decreased fractal correlation in diurnal physical activity in chronic fatigue syndrome.

TL;DR: CFS patients had more abrupt interruptions of voluntary physical activity during diurnal periods in normal daily life, probed by the decreased correlation in the negative modulus maxima of the wavelet-transformed activity data, possibly due to their exaggerated fatigue.

More random motor activity fluctuations predict incident frailty, disability, and mortality
Peng Li,Peng Li,Andrew S P Lim,Lei Gao,Lei Gao,Chelsea Hu,Lei Yu,David A. Bennett,Aron S. Buchman,Kun Hu,Kun Hu +10 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that fractal analyses can help predict health outcomes in the absence of overt symptoms and support the utility of passive monitoring, and find that people with reduced temporal correlations at baseline had increased risk of frailty, disability, and all-cause death during follow-up.

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.
