The Hurst exponent of very long birth time series in Romania has been extracted from official daily records, i.e. over 97 years between 1905 and 2001 included. The series result from distinguishing between families located in urban (U) or rural (R) areas, and belonging (Ox) or not (NOx) to the orthodox religion. Four time series combining both criteria, (U,R) and (Ox, NOx), are also examined. A statistical information is given on these sub-populations measuring their XX-th century state as a snapshot. However, the main goal is to investigate whether the daily production of babies is purely noisy or is fluctuating according to some non trivial fractional Brownian motion, - in the four types of populations, characterized by either their habitat or their religious attitude, yet living within the same political regime. One of the goals was also to find whether combined criteria implied a different behavior. Moreover, we wish to observe whether some seasonal periodicity exists. The detrended fluctuation analysis technique is used for finding the fractal correlation dimension of such (9) signals. It has been first necessary, due to two periodic tendencies, to define the range regime in which the Hurst exponent is meaningfully defined. It results that the birth of babies in all cases is a very strongly persistent signal. It is found that the signal fractal correlation dimension is weaker (i) for NOx than for Ox, and (ii) or U with respect to R. Moreover, it is observed that the combination of U or R with NOx or OX enhances the UNOx, UOx, and ROx fluctuations, but smoothens the RNOx signal, thereby suggesting a stronger conditioning on religiosity rituals or rules.

In this paper, we show a strong correlation between turnstile usage data of the New York City subway provided by the Metropolitan Transport Authority of New York City and COVID-19 deaths and cases reported by the New York City Department of Health. T he turnstile usage data not only indicate the usage of the citys subway but also peoples activity that promoted the large prevalence of COVID-19 city dwellers experienced from March to May of 2020. While this correlation is apparent, no proof has been provided before. Here we demonstrate this correlation through the application of a long short-term memory neural network. We show that the correlation of COVID-19 prevalence and deaths considers the incubation and symptomatic phases on reported deaths. Having established this correlation, we estimate the dates when the number of COVID-19 deaths and cases would approach zero after the reported number of deaths were decreasing by using the Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average model. We also estimate the dates when the first cases and deaths occurred by back-tracing the data sets and compare them to the reported dates.
It is of great significance to identify the characteristics of time series to qualify their similarity. We define six types of triadic time-series motifs and investigate the motif occurrence profiles extracted from logistic map, chaotic logistic map, chaotic Henon map, chaotic Ikeda map, hyperchaotic generalized Henon map and hyperchaotic folded-tower map. Based on the similarity of motif profiles, we further propose to estimate the similarity coefficients between different time series and classify these time series with high accuracy. We further apply the motif analysis method to the UCR Time Series Classification Archive and provide evidence of good classification ability for some data sets. Our analysis shows that the proposed triadic time series motif analysis performs better than the classic dynamic time wrapping method in classifying time series for certain data sets investigated in this work.
We introduce the concept of time series motifs for time series analysis. Time series motifs consider not only the spatial information of mutual visibility but also the temporal information of relative magnitude between the data points. We study the p rofiles of the six triadic time series. The six motif occurrence frequencies are derived for uncorrelated time series, which are approximately linear functions of the length of the time series. The corresponding motif profile thus converges to a constant vector $(0.2,0.2,0.1,0.2,0.1,0.2)$. These analytical results have been verified by numerical simulations. For fractional Gaussian noises, numerical simulations unveil the nonlinear dependence of motif occurrence frequencies on the Hurst exponent. Applications of the time series motif analysis uncover that the motif occurrence frequency distributions are able to capture the different dynamics in the heartbeat rates of healthy subjects, congestive heart failure (CHF) subjects, and atrial fibrillation (AF) subjects and in the price fluctuations of bullish and bearish markets. Our method shows its potential power to classify different types of time series and test the time irreversibility of time series.
Our goal is to estimate causal interactions in multivariate time series. Using vector autoregressive (VAR) models, these can be defined based on non-vanishing coefficients belonging to respective time-lagged instances. As in most cases a parsimonious causality structure is assumed, a promising approach to causal discovery consists in fitting VAR models with an additional sparsity-promoting regularization. Along this line we here propose that sparsity should be enforced for the subgroups of coefficients that belong to each pair of time series, as the absence of a causal relation requires the coefficients for all time-lags to become jointly zero. Such behavior can be achieved by means of l1-l2-norm regularized regression, for which an efficient active set solver has been proposed recently. Our method is shown to outperform standard methods in recovering simulated causality graphs. The results are on par with a second novel approach which uses multiple statistical testing.

We propose an algorithm to estimate the Hurst exponent of high-dimensional fractals, based on a generalized high-dimensional variance around a moving average low-pass filter. As working examples, we consider rough surfaces generated by the Random Mid point Displacement and by the Cholesky-Levinson Factorization algorithms. The surrogate surfaces have Hurst exponents ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 with step 0.1, and different sizes. The computational efficiency and the accuracy of the algorithm are also discussed.
