This paper studies the nonlinear dependences in daily returns of 40 French stocks and two indices, the Vontobel-Datastream index and the official French index CAC40. These returns are studied during a period of twenty-four years beginning January 1, 1975. The rescaled range analysis of Hurst and...

A major application of rescaled adjusted range analysis (RS analysis) is the study of price fluctuations in financial markets. There, the value of the Hurst constant, H, in a time series may be interpreted as an indicator of the irregularity of the price of a commodity, currency or similar...

In this work we measure the evolution of the long-range dependence phenomenon of returns and volatilities of nominal British exchange rates (British pound against US dollar) futures contracts negotiated on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange from 1986 to 2004. The measurement employs the R/S classic...

This article discusses a rescaled range analysis model, titled AGA-R/S, that is based on an accelerated genetic algorithm. The parameter a, Hurst index of rescaled range analysis, and the recurrent time of disaster in the next time-period, were directly computed using an accelerated genetic...

In the paper we study the stability of Hurst exponent behavior for Russian and American financial indicators. A specific technique is developed for analysis of its performance. A grouping method is suggested built on financial time series fractal properties.

We report an empirical study of Tehran price index (TEPIX). To analyze our data we use various methods like as, rescaled range analysis (R/S), modified rescaled range analysis (Lo's method), detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and generalized Hurst exponents analysis. Based on numerical...
