The use of multifractal approaches has been growing because of the capacity of these tools to analyze complex properties and possible nonlinear structures such as those in financial time series. This paper analyzes the presence of long-range dependence and multifractal parameters in the stock indices of nine MSCI emerging Asian economies. Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA) is used, with prior application of the Seasonal and Trend Decomposition using the Loess (STL) method for more reliable results, as STL separates different components of the time series and removes seasonal oscillations. We find a varying degree of multifractality in all the markets considered, implying that they exhibit long-range correlations, which could be related to verification of the fractal market hypothesis. The evidence of multifractality reveals symmetry in the variation trends of the multifractal spectrum parameters of financial time series, which could be useful to develop portfolio management. Based on the degree of multifractality, the Chinese and South Korean markets exhibit the least long-range dependence, followed by Pakistan, Indonesia, and Thailand. On the contrary, the Indian and Malaysian stock markets are found to have the highest level of dependence. This evidence could be related to possible market inefficiencies, implying the possibility of institutional investors using active trading strategies in order to make their portfolios more profitable.

Multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) method is applied to analyze the daily electric load time series. The results of the MF-DFA show that there are three crossover timescales at seven days, 15 days and 365 days approximately in the fluctuation function. Also we find that these fluctuations have multifractal nature with long range correlation behavior. The multifractal singularity spectrum of the daily electric load series has been fitted by the quadratic function model. Comparing the MF-DFA results of the original load series with those of shuffled and surrogate series, it concludes that the multifractal characteristics of the daily electric load time series is due to both broadness of the probability density function and long-range correlation, and the long-range correlation is dominant.

AbstractFractal properties of deep ocean current speed time series, measured at a single-point mooring on the Madeira Abyssal Plain at 1000- and 3000-m depth, are explored over the range between one week and 5 years, by using the detrended fluctuation analysis and multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis methodologies. The detrended fluctuation analysis reveals the existence of two subranges with different scaling behaviors. Long-range temporal correlations following a power law are found in the time-scale range between approximately 50 days and 5 years, while a Brownian motion–type behavior is observed for shorter time scales. The multifractal analysis approach underlines a multifractal structure whose intensity decreases with depth. The analysis of the shuffled and surrogate versions of the original time series shows that multifractality is mainly due to long-range correlations, although there is a weak nonlinear contribution at 1000-m depth, which is confirmed by the detrended fluctuation analysis of volatility time series.

It has been observed that Internet gateways employing Transport Control Protocol (TCP) and the Random Early Detection (RED) control algorithm may exhibit instability and oscillatory behavior. Most control methods proposed in the past have been based on analytical models that rely on statistical measurements of network parameters. In this paper, we apply the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) method to analyze stability of the TCP-RED system. The DFA is used to analyze time-series data and generate power-law scaling exponents, which indicate the long-range correlations of the time series. We quantify the stability of the TCP-RED system by examining the variation of the DFA power-law scaling exponent when the system parameters are varied. We also study the long-range power-law correlations of TCP window periods.

PurposeThe investigation of the fractal nature of financial data has been growing in the literature. The purpose is to investigate the multifractal behavior of frontier markets using multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA).Design/methodology/approachThis study used daily closing prices of nine frontier stock markets up to 31-Aug-2020. A preliminary analysis reveals that these markets exhibit fat tails and clustering patterns. For a more robust analysis, a combination of Seasonal and Trend Decomposition using Loess (STL) and MFDFA has been employed. The former method is used to decompose daily stock returns, where later detected the long rang dependence in the series.FindingsThe results confirm varying degree of multifractality in frontier stock markets, implying that they exhibit long-range dependence. Based on these multifractality levels, Serbian and Romanian stock markets are the ones exhibiting least long-range dependence, while Slovenian and Mauritius stock markets indicating highest dependence in their series. Furthermore, the markets of Kenya, Morocco, Romania and Serbia exhibit mean reversion (anti-persistent) behavior while the remaining frontier markets show persistent behaviors.Practical implicationsThe information given by the detection of the fractal measure of data can support for investment and policymaking decisions.Originality/valueFrontier markets are of great potential from the perspective of international diversification. However, most of the research focused on other emerging and developed markets, especially in the context of multifractal analysis. This study combines the STL method and a physics-based robust technique, MFDFA to detect the multifractal behavior of frontier stock markets.
