摘要
By considering the crossings of size 2(n) made by a continuous self-similar process, for n = . . . , -1, 0, 1, . . . , we build a tree of crossings that encodes the sample path. From the crossing tree, we obtain a test for self-similarity and an estimator for the Hurst index H. The accuracy of the estimator is established theoretically and numerically, and a comparison study with three other estimators is given, demonstrating its superior performance. The estimator and self-similarity test are applied to network packet traces, revealing some previously unobserved features.
