pyhctsa.operations.scaling.fast_dfa(y)

Measures the scaling exponent of the time series using a fast implementation of detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA).

This is a Python wrapper for Max Little’s fastdfa code. The original fastdfa code is by

Parameters:
y : array-like

Input time series (1D array), fed straight into the fastdfa script.

Returns:

Estimated scaling exponent from log-log linear fit of fluctuation vs interval.

Return type:

float
