On the Effects of Non-stationarity in Long-range Dependence Tests
نویسندگان
چکیده
Careful statistical analyses indicate that the measured traffic traces from live packet networks often contain non-stationary effects like level shifts or polynomial trends. In these cases several popular tests for long-range dependence can result in wrong conclusions and unreliable estimate of the Hurst parameter. In this paper both analytical and simulation investigations of the implications of these effects on several tests are presented. The results are also demonstrated with examples based on measured ATM traces. The use of these results can be utilized to avoid pitfalls in LRD traffic modeling.

Determination of Climate Changes on Streamflow Process in the West of Lake Urmia With Used to Trend and Stationarity Analysis
One of the most important hydrological time series task is to determine if there is any trend in the data and how to achieve stationarity when there is nonstationarity behavior in data. Detecting trend and stationarity in hydrological time series may help us to understand the possible links between hydrological processes and global climate changes. In this study yearly, monthly and daily stream...

متن کاملA Practical Method for Weak Stationarity Test of Network Traffic with Long-Range Dependence
Testing the stationarity of real traffic remains a problem worth studying. Due to the importance of traffic theory in the Internet, to find a solution to such a problem brooks no delay. This paper presents a way to do the weak stationarity test of traffic with long-range dependence (LRD) as a single history traffic series of finite length. How to apply this method to real traffic on a packet-by...
متن کاملNew Results in Multifractal Traffic Analysis and Modeling
An alternative but very promising approach of traffic modeling is the use of fractal characterization to describe the high variability and bursty nature of network traffic. The aim of this dissertation is to contribute to this research approach, more precisely, to solve some problems in statistical testing, traffic characterization, modeling, and performance evaluation. First, the implications ...
متن کاملMeasuring Long-Range Dependence under Changing Traffic Conditions
Recent measurements of various types of network traffic have shown evidence consistent with long-range dependence and self-similarity. However, an alternative explanation for these measurements is non-stationarity. Standard estimators of LRD parameters such as the Hurst parameter H assume stationarity and are susceptible to bias when this assumption does not hold. Hence LRD may be indicated by ...
