Relative cluster entropy for power-law correlated sequences
We propose an information-theoretical measure, the relative cluster entropy \mathcal{D_C}[P\|Q] [ P ∥ Q ] , to discriminate among cluster partitions characterised by probability distribution functions P and Q. The measure is illustrated with the clusters generated by pairs of fractional Brownian mot...

. By using the minimum relative entropy principle, cluster sequences characterized by different correlation degrees are distinguished and the optimal Hurst exponent is selected. As a case study, real-world cluster partitions of market price series are compared to those obtained from fully uncorrelated sequences (simple Browniam motions) assumed as a model. The minimum relative cluster entropy yields optimal Hurst exponents

Finally, we derive the analytical expression of the relative cluster entropy and the outcomes are discussed for arbitrary pairs of power-laws probability distribution functions of continuous random variables. |
