Long-range-dependent time series are endemic in the statistical analysis of Internet traffic. The Hurst parameter provides a good summary of important self-similar scaling properties. We compare a number of different Hurst parameter estimation methods and some important variations. This is done...

Driven by network intrusion detection, we propose a MultiResolution Anomaly Detection (MRAD) method, which effectively utilizes the multiscale properties of Internet features and network anomalies. In this paper, several theoretical properties of the MRAD method are explored. A major new result...
