理解Python中Hurst指数的广义公式

Question

如果我的问题不是很简洁，我很抱歉。我试图理解QuantStart上发布的估计赫斯特指数的通用公式：

https://www.quantstart.com/articles/Basics-of-Statistical-Mean-Reversion-Testing

代码如下：

from numpy import cumsum, log, polyfit, sqrt, std, subtract
from numpy.random import randn
def hurst(ts):
    lags = range(10,80)
    tau = [sqrt(std(subtract(ts[lag:], ts[:-lag]))) for lag in lags]
    poly = polyfit(log(lags), log(tau), 1)
    return poly[0]*2.0
print ('> Hurst Exponent:', '%.6s' % hurst(df['Close']))

我已经应用了这个代码，它起了作用。但我不太明白这个公式到底是怎么工作的。我有疑虑，尤其是对滞后的问题。如果有人能给我一些信息让我理解这部分公式，我将非常感激。你知道吗

例如，如果我将滞后范围设置为10和80，这是否意味着将计算时间序列中10和80个观测值之间的自相关？你知道吗

另一个重要的问题，我需要多少个观测值来建立这个滞后范围？我应该至少有80次观察吗？你知道吗

正如我前面提到的，如果有人能帮我解释一下，我将非常感激。我将非常感激。你知道吗

谢谢！你知道吗

Answer 1

Q : how many observations do I need to set up that lags range?

考虑到需要200巴的滞后，观测值少于200巴是毫无意义的。你知道吗

Q : if I set up the lags range in 10 and 80, does that mean that the autocorrelation will be calculated between the 10 and 80 observations in a time series?

当然。赫斯特就是这样工作的。你知道吗

请参阅从QuantFX模块获取的函数实现，如v.4.13（Py2.7在大多数情况下不会产生问题，但Py3.x中的任何xrange（）都应替换为range（））：
