ON MULTIVARIATE NON-GAUSSIAN SCALE INVARIANCE: FRACTIONAL LÉVY PROCESSES AND WAVELET ESTIMATION
Abstract
In the modern world of "Big Data," dynamic signals are often multivariate and characterized by joint scale-free dynamics (self-similarity) and non-Gaussianity. In this paper, we examine the performance of joint wavelet eigenanalysis estimation for the Hurst parameters (scaling exponents) of non-Gaussian multivariate processes. We propose a new process called operator fractional Lévy motion (ofLm) as a Lévy-type model for non-Gaussian multivariate self-similarity. Based on large size Monte Carlo simulations of bivariate ofLm with a combination of Gaussian and non-Gaussian marginals, the estimation performance for Hurst parameters is shown to be satisfactory over finite samples.
