Scaling properties and entropy of long-range correlated time series
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the Shannon entropy of a time series by using the probability density functions of the characteristic sizes of the long-range correlated clusters introduced in [A. Carbone, G. Castelli, H.E. Stanley, Phys. Rev. E 69 (2004) 026105]. We define three different measures of the entropy related, respectively, to the length, the duration and the area of the clusters. For all the three cases, the entropy increases as the logarithm of a power of the size with exponents equal to the fractal dimension of the cluster length, duration and area, respectively. r 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Magnitude and sign correlations in heartbeat fluctuations.
We propose an approach for analyzing signals with long-range correlations by decomposing the signal increment series into magnitude and sign series and analyzing their scaling properties. We show that signals with identical long-range correlations can exhibit different time organization for the magnitude and sign. We find that the magnitude series relates to the nonlinear properties of the orig...
متن کاملMagnitude and sign scaling in power-law correlated time series
A time series can be decomposed into two sub-series: a magnitude series and a sign series. Here we analyze separately the scaling properties of the magnitude series and the sign series using the increment time series of cardiac interbeat intervals as an example. We 6nd that time series having identical distributions and long-range correlation properties can exhibit quite di8erent temporal organ...
متن کاملSpurious Results of Fluctuation Analysis Techniques in Magnitude and Sign Correlations
Fluctuation Analysis (FA) and specially Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) are techniques commonly used to quantify correlations and scaling properties of complex time series such as the observable outputs of great variety of dynamical systems, from Economics to Physiology. Often, such correlated time series are analyzed using the magnitude and sign decomposition, i.e., by using FA or DFA to ...
متن کاملUnexpected Course of Nonlinear Cardiac Interbeat Interval Dynamics during Childhood and Adolescence
The fluctuations of the cardiac interbeat series contain rich information because they reflect variations of other functions on different time scales (e.g., respiration or blood pressure control). Nonlinear measures such as complexity and fractal scaling properties derived from 24 h heart rate dynamics of healthy subjects vary from childhood to old age. In this study, the age-related variations...
متن کاملMagnitude and sign scaling in power-law correlated geoelectrical time series measured in southern Italy
Recently, it has been proposed a new method to investigate the linear/nonlinear properties of a time series by decomposing it into two sub-series: magnitude and sign sub-series (Ashkenazy et al., 2003). The long-range correlation properties of the magnitude and sign sub-series relate to nonlinear and linear behavior of the original time series respectively. We apply this method to the hourly ti...
