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

Multifractal analysis of measure representation of flood/drought grade series in the Yangtze Delta, China, during the past millennium and their fractal model simulation
TL;DR: Based on reconstructed flood/drought grade series, IFS (iterazed function systems) and RIFS[(recurrent) iterated function systems] models were used to reconstruct their measure representations as discussed by the authors.

Fluctuations in Wikipedia access-rate and edit-event data
TL;DR: To characterize the fluctuation behavior, detrended fluctuation analysis is applied, finding that most article access-rate time series are characterized by strong long-term correlations with fluctuation exponents α≈0.9, and the results indicate significant differences in the dynamics of information upload and access.

TL;DR: A relation between neural dynamics in the most dominant rhythms in the cortex and basal ganglia in PD, extending across multiple time scales is suggested, which might contribute to the understanding of cortical-subcortical neural coupling in PD.

TL;DR: This work analyzes rat electroencephalograms to identify specific changes in the slow-wave dynamics of brain electrical activity associated with two different conditions, such as the opening of the blood-brain barrier and sleep, which are both characterized by the activation of the brain drainage function.

Detrended fluctuation analysis of laser Doppler flowmetry time series: the effect of extrinsic and intrinsic factors on the fractal scaling of microvascular blood flow.
TL;DR: Inhibition of a local vasodilator mechanism not only decreased the scaling exponent of the local region but also eliminated the effect of respiratory coupling on fractal scaling.

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.

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.
