The Conditionally Exponential Decay (CED) model is used to explain the scaling laws observed in financial data. This approach enables us to identify the distributions of currency exchange rate or economic indices returns (changes) corresponding to the empirical scaling laws. This is illustrated...

We use the Conditionally Exponential Decay (CED) model to explain the scaling behavior in currency exchange (FX) rates. This approach enables us not only to show that FX returns satisfy scaling with an exponent qualitatively different from that of a random walk, but also to identify the...

Typical data sets employed by economists and financial analysts do not exceed a few hundred or thousand observations per series. However, in the last decade data sets containing tick-by-tick observations have become available. The studies of these data have turned up new and interesting facts...

We demonstrate how the basic ideas of the fractal and the heterogeneous market hypotheses lead to a rigorous mathematical model, which can be used to solve the problem of characterizing the distribution of price changes corresponding to the empirical scaling law of volatility for high-frequency...

The question, what information about the system can be derived from short time series of potassium current signal recorded at various voltages, has been posed. The statistical analysis of 4000-point data samples of ionic current in a single channel of the biological membrane is presented. The...

The time series of successive closed- and open-states durations determined for a voltage-dependent big conductance locust potassium channel (BK channel) have been analyzed. The problem of correlation between the states have been discussed by means of the autocorrelation function, Hurst and...
