We examine possible closed form solutions for the cumulative distribution function for systems where the probability density function can be adequately described by the generalized non-extensive statistics framework. Application to financial time series as a possible Value at Risk technique...

By applying the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis to the high-frequency tick-by-tick data from Deutsche Börse both in the price and in the time domains, we investigate multifractal properties of the time series of logarithmic price increments and inter-trade intervals of time. We show...

We analyzed multifractal properties of 5-min stock returns from a period of over two years for 100 highly capitalized American companies. The two sources: fat-tailed probability distributions and non-linear temporal correlations, vitally contribute to the observed multifractal dynamics of the...

We give a simple probabilistic description of a transition between two states which leads to a generalized escort distribution. When the parameter of the distribution varies, it defines a parametric curve that we call an escort-path. The Rényi divergence appears as a natural by-product of the...
