Physiological time series complex systems

Successive increments of mathematical fractal random processes are independent of the time step. Here D = 1.5 corresponds to a completely uncorrelated random process r = 0, such as Brownian motion, and D = 1.0 corresponds to a completely correlated process r= 1, such as a regular curve. Studies of various physiologic time series have shown the existence of strong long-time correlations in healthy subjects and demonstrated the breakdown of these correlations in disease see, for example, the review by West [56]. Complexity decreases with convergence of the Hurst exponent H to the value 0.5 or equivalently of the fractal dimension to the value 1.5. Conversely, system complexity increases as a single fractal dimension expands into a spectrum of dimensions. [Pg.42]

The empirical evidence overwhelmingly supports the interpretation of the time series analysis that complex physiologic phenomena are described by fractal stochastic processes. Furthermore, the fractal nature of these time series is not constant in time but changes with the vagaries of the interaction of the system with its environment, and therefore these phenomena are multifractal. [Pg.86]
