For both Northern and Southern hemispheres, the long-term memory dynamics for continent and ocean temperature records in the recent 125 years is studied in this paper. It is found that the records exhibit long-range memory and multifractality characteristics where large temperature anomalies...

Here we propose a method, based on detrended fluctuation analysis, to investigate asymmetric correlations in nonstationary time series. The aim is to show that, for a certain range of time scales, different scaling properties are found if signal trending is either positive and negative. We...

Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a scaling method commonly used for detecting long-range correlations in nonstationary time series. Applications range from financial time series to physiological data. However, as the removal of trends in DFA is based on discontinuous polynomial fitting,...

Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a scaling method commonly used for detecting long-range correlations in non-stationary time series. The DFA method uses a trend based on polynomial fitting to extract and quantify fluctuations at different time scales. Basically, such procedure acts as a...

We investigate scaling properties of electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings of healthy subjects and heart failure patients based on detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). While the vast majority of scaling analysis has focused on the characterization of the long-range correlations of interbeat (i.e.,...

Well-log analysis is a useful tool for the lithological description of wells. Its adequate interpretation allows determining different rock properties such as permeability, density, resistivity and porosity among others. However, given the complexity inherent in the signals, the identification...
