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:
“Our relations to each other are oblique and casual.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
“If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself.... If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
