haracteristic scaling law is usually expressed as Gr (Fedor, 1988; Hughes, 1995; Shlesinger, 1996; 210 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013710 --- PAGE BREAK --- Liebovitch, 1998). We see that the Hurst exponent, Fano and Allen factors, Levy exponent and power spectral scaling exponent are kindred statistical descriptor

brought to experimentalists’ attention by Benoit Mandelbrot (Montroll and Badger, 1974; Mandelbrot, 1983; Fedor, 1988; Bassingthwaighte et al, 1994; Liebovitch, 1998). To estimate the exponent in Hurst rescaled range analysis, we compute the standard deviation and the range of the deviation of the running su
