Signals of Chaotic Behavior in Middle Eastern Stock Exchanges

  • Conference paper
Chaos and Complex Systems

Abstract

This study involves analysis of financial time series using nonlinear data analysis methods involving chaos and fractal analysis methods such as R/S, DFA, attractor reconstruction using phase space representation, delay coordinates, mutual information, false nearest neighbors (henceforth referred to as FNN) and maximal Lyapunov exponents. A reparametrization of the Lyapunov exponent analysis that is addressed towards the aliasing effect frequently seen in economic time series has also been used.
