Result of the hurst exponent are wrong #17
Description
from numpy import cumsum, log, polyfit, sqrt, std, subtract
from numpy.random import randn
def hurst(ts):
"""Returns the Hurst Exponent of the time series vector ts"""
# Create the range of lag values
lags = range(2, 100)
# Calculate the array of the variances of the lagged differences
tau = [sqrt(std(subtract(ts[lag:], ts[:-lag]))) for lag in lags]
# Use a linear fit to estimate the Hurst Exponent
poly = polyfit(log(lags), log(tau), 1)
# Return the Hurst exponent from the polyfit output
return poly[0]*2.0
# Create a Gometric Brownian Motion, Mean-Reverting and Trending Series
gbm = log(cumsum(randn(100000))+1000)
mr = log(randn(100000)+1000)
tr = log(cumsum(randn(100000)+1)+1000)
# Output the Hurst Exponent for each of the above series
# and the price of Google (the Adjusted Close price) for
# the ADF test given above in the article
print "Hurst(GBM): %s" % hurst(gbm)
print "Hurst(MR): %s" % hurst(mr)
print "Hurst(TR): %s" % hurst(tr)I compared with the results of pyeeg.hurst and they are quite different.
I you want I can do a pull request to update the method
