RoverS: Estimate the Hurst coefficient by rescaled range (R/S) method
In fractal: Fractal Time Series Modeling and Analysis

Description Usage Arguments Value References See Also Examples

The series is partitioned into m groups. The R/S statistic is computed as described in the references, the number of groups is increased, and the calculation is repeated. A log-log plot of R/S versus number of groups is, ideally, linear, with a slope related to H, so H can be determined by linear regression.

1	RoverS(x, n.block.min=2, scale.ratio=2, scale.min=8)

`x`	a vector containing a uniformly-sampled real-valued time series.
`n.block.min`	minimum number of blocks in partitioning the data. Must be at least 2. Default: `2`.
`scale.min`	minimum number of data values allowed in a block This may be restricted so the statistic evaluated within each group is from a reasonable sample. Default: `8`.
`scale.ratio`	ratio of successive scales to use in partitioning the data. For example, if `scale.min=8` and `scale.ratio=2`, the first scale will be 8, the second scale 16, the third scale 32, and so on. Default: `2`.
