File Information
Description

This code calculates the weighted generalized Hurst exponent H(q) from
the scaling of the renormalized q-moments of the distribution

      <|x(t+r)-x(t)|^q>_w/<x(t)^q>_w ~ r^[qH(q)]

                  
Here <f>_w are weighted averages of f(t) over 0<= t < T
with weights
      w(t) = w0 exp(-(T-t)/delta)
and
      w0 = (1-exp(-1/delta))/(1-exp(-T/delta))

H = genhurstw(S)
S is 1xT data series (T>50 recommended)
calculates unweighted H(q=1)

H = genhurstw(S,q)
calculates unweighted H(q) specifying the exponent q
which can be a vector (default value q=1)

H = genhurstw(S,q,delta)
calculates weighted H(q) specifying the characteristic time delta
 
H = genhurstw(S,q,delta,maxT)
calculates weighted H(q) specifying the characteristic time delta
and the size of the scaling window maxT

[H,sH]=genhurstw(S,...)
estimates the standard deviation sH(q)

examples:
  generalized Hurst exponent for a random gaussian process
  H=genhurstw(cumsum(randn(10000,1)))
or
  H=genhurstw(cumsum(randn(10000,1)),[1,2]) to calculate H(1) and H(2)
or
  H=genhurstw(cumsum(randn(10000,1)),[1,2],100) to calculate weighted
  H(1) and H(2) with chractreistic time delta = 100
