I am quite confused about Hurst, there are N number of papers on Hurst, but I am not finding any that starts with signals of single tone and later with multi-tone i.e. Fourier combined signals that have both linear and non-linear properties (it can be amplitude and frequency modulated form also). The Hurst also having some impact on sampling rate and sample length, can anyone suggest me any paper that gives a brief idea from the basic idea from the basic synthetic data, rather than with a lot of mathematical functions. I have tried the analysis by composing different signal and estimated Hurst, but no pefect picture that can be concluded from the analysis.
