  Monitoring of complex time-series. Three methods specifically suited for monitoring of signals (time-series) measured in complex, nonlinear systems, yield promising early warning applications in biology, medicine, finance, Earth science, and engineering. Success stories include monitoring of fluidized bed chemical reactors and combustors.
   
• 27 September 2006. Stefan Gheorghiu, CSC
  Self-similarity of time-series. The talk presents a series of time-series estimators which quantify self-similarity (self-affinity): the Hurst and Holder exponents, R/S analysis, height-difference correlation functions, wavelet estimators. Analysis reveals that scaling properties of the correlation functions and the existence of a Hurst exponent may originate either in long-range correlations (Mandelbrot’s “Joseph effect”), or in power-law uncorrelated polydispersity (“Noah effect”).
