1. Intro – overview of the method If we observe scaling: We may conclude that: For a=0.5 fluctuations are not self-correlated; For 0.5<a<1 long-range correlations exist; For 0<a<0.5 long-range anticorrelations exist; a=1 corresponds to flicker (1/f) noise; a=1.5 corresponds to Brownian noise; In other words: the „smoother” the time series, the bigger a is obtained.
2. Scale-independent DFA *Goldberger,Peng et al., PNAS 99, supp.1, 2466(2002)
2. Scale-dependent version *K. Saermark et al., Fractals 8, 4, 315-322 (2000).
