It is extended from detrended fluctuation analysis （DFA）, which was developed for detecting the long-range correlation and the fractal properties in stationary and non-stationary time series. Although MF-DFA has become a widely used method, some relationships among the exponents established in the original paper seem to be incorrect under the general situation. In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate the invalidity of the expression r（q） = qh（q） - 1 stipulating the relationship between the multifractal exponent T（q） and the generalized Hurst exponent h（q）. As a replacement, a general relationship is established on the basis of the universal multifractal formalism for the stationary series as .t-（q） = qh（q） - qH - 1, where H is the nonconservation parameter in the universal multifractal formalism. The singular spectra, a and f（a）, are also derived according to this new relationship.展开更多

The result of the MFDFA shows that there exists obvious multifractal scaling behavior in produced time series. We compare the MFDFA results for original time series with those for shuffled series, and find that its multifractal nature is due to two factors： broadness of probability density function of the series and different correlations in small- and large-scale fluctuations. This may provide new insight to the problem of the origin of multifractality in financial time series.展开更多

The results showed that the EEG exhibited scaling behavior in two regions with two scaling exponents β1 and β2 which represented the complexity of higher and lower frequency activity besides α band respectively. As the emotional intensity decreased the value of β1 increased and the value of β2 decreased. The change of β1 was weakly correlated with the ＇approach-withdrawal＇ model of emotion and both of fear and sad music made certain differences compared with the eyes-closed rest condition. The study shows that music is a powerful elicitor of emotion and that using nonlinear method can potentially contribute to the investigation of emotion.展开更多

The purpose of this study is to combine detrended fluctuation analysis features and spectral features of single electroencephalograph (EEG) channel for the purpose of building an automated sleep staging system based on the hybrid prediction engine model. The testing results of the model were promising as the classification accuracies were 98.85%, 92.26%, 94.4%, 95.16% and 93.68% for the wake, non-rapid eye movement S1, non-rapid eye movement S2, non-rapid eye movement S3 and rapid eye movement sleep stages, respectively. The overall classification accuracy was 85.18%. We concluded that it might be possible to employ this approach to build an industrial sleep assessment system that reduced the number of channels that affected the sleep quality and the effort excreted by sleep specialists through the process of the sleep scoring.展开更多
