Question on Hurst exponent

View Count: 1146

The HURST exponent subgraph returns for an asset values between 0.5 and 1.3. The HURST values are supposed to be bounded by values (0.0<H<0.5, 0.5, 0.5>H>1). I understand that Sierra has implemented a specific version, question is how do I interpret a data - H between 0.5 and 1.3 for entire 2 years?

Thanks for help.

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.
