We propose a modified time lag random matrix theory in order to study time lag cross-correlations in multiple time series. We apply the method to 48 world indices, one for each of 48 different countries. We find long-range power-law cross-correlations in the absolute values of returns that...

Time-dependent economic, technological, and social factors can artificially inflate or deflate quantitative measures for career success. Here we develop and test a statistical method for normalizing career success metrics across time dependent factors. In particular, this method addresses the...

We calculate the Shannon entropy of a time series by using the probability density functions of the characteristic sizes of the long-range correlated clusters introduced in [A. Carbone, G. Castelli, H.E. Stanley, Phys. Rev. E 69 (2004) 026105]. We define three different measures of the entropy...

We develop a method for the multifractal characterization of nonstationary time series, which is based on a generalization of the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). We relate our multifractal DFA method to the standard partition function-based multifractal formalism, and prove that both...
