A Practical Guide to Measuring the Hurst Parameter
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes, in detail, techniques for measuring the Hurst parameter. Measurements are given on artificial data both in a raw form and corrupted in various ways to check the robustness of the tools in question. Measurements are also given on real data, both new data sets and well-studied data sets. All data and tools used are freely available for download along with simple “recipes” which any researcher can follow to replicate these measurements.

Bottlenecks on the way towards fractal characterization of network traffic estimation and interpretation of the Hurst parameter
In this paper we investigate practical problems of fractal characterization of network tra c focusing on the estimation and interpretation of the Hurst parameter. The analysis is based on our measurement study of ATM WAN tra c. We point out that in order to use the fractal characterization framework in practice we are faced with various misleading e ects that can deceive our self-similarity tes...
متن کاملThe graphical methods for estimating Hurst parameter of self-similar network traffic
The modern high-speed network traffic exhibits the self-similarity. The degree of selfsimilarity is measured by the Hurst parameter. In this paper are used two graphical techniques for estimating Hurst parameter of pseudo-random self-similar sequences, based on the fractional Gaussian noise (FGN) method. The analyses show that the FGN method always produces self-similar sequences, with relative...

In the last few years the discovery of the self-similar nature of packet traac has highlighted the need for the estimation of parameters quantifying scaling phenomenon, such as the Hurst parameter. An important practical question concerns the variation of the Hurst parameter with time. The on-line real-time version of the wavelet based estimator of Abry and Veitch, which allows data of unlimite...
متن کاملThe Heinemann-Mittermeir Generalized Shape Factor and Its Practical Relevance
Fifty years ago Warren and Root have introduced the shape factor. This fundamental parameter for modeling of naturally fractured reservoirs has been discussed stormily ever since. Different definitions for shape factor have been suggested which all of them are heuristically based. Recently, Heinemann and Mittermeir mathematically derived - based on the dual-continuum theorem assuming pseudo-ste...

Correct diagnosis and classification of lymphoid neoplasms depends on the integration of morphologic, immunophenotypic and molecular genetic features. The mature small B cell lymphomas despite their overlapping histomorphologies, have different clinical behavior and treatment. In this review, differentia...
