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 and/or methods:
“Actually, the laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day; he cannot afford to sustain the manliest relations to men; his labor would be depreciated in the market.
He has no time to be anything but a machine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say—and to feel—”Yes, that’s the way it is, or at least that’s the way I feel it. You’re not as alone as you thought.””
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
