Post From: Question on Hurst exponent

Hello bala,

As you noted, the Hurst exponent should be between 0 and 1 (with 0 < H < 0.5 indicating an anti-persistent time series, and 0.5 < H < 1 indicating a persistent time series). Any of the existing algorithms for computing the Hurst exponent are estimations, and some of those estimations yield H > 1 for a given time series. We are unable to offer an interpretation for this case.
