Relations To Other Methods
In the case of power-law decaying auto-correlations, the correlation function decays with an exponent : . In addition the power spectrum decays as . The three exponent are related by:
- and
- .
The relations can be derived using the Wiener–Khinchin theorem.
Thus, is tied to the slope of the power spectrum used to describe the color of noise by this relationship: .
For fractional Gaussian noise (FGN), we have, and thus, and, where is the Hurst exponent. for FGN is equal to .
For fractional Brownian motion (FBM), we have, and thus, and, where is the Hurst exponent. for FBM is equal to . In this context, FBM is the cumulative sum or the integral of FGN, thus, the exponents of their power spectra differ by 2.

Famous quotes containing the words relations to, relations and/or methods:
“The interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“When any one of our relations was found to be a person of a very bad character, a troublesome guest, or one we desired to get rid of, upon his leaving my house I ever took care to lend him a riding-coat, or a pair of boots, or sometimes a horse of small value, and I always had the satisfaction of finding he never came back to return them.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
“In inner-party politics, these methods lead, as we shall yet see, to this: the party organization substitutes itself for the party, the central committee substitutes itself for the organization, and, finally, a “dictator” substitutes himself for the central committee.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
