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 and/or methods:
“In the relations of a weak Government and a rebellious people there comes a time when every act of the authorities exasperates the masses, and every refusal to act excites their contempt.”
—John Reed (1887–1920)
“How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
