Heavy-Tailed Prediction Error: A Difficulty in Predicting Biomedical Signals of 1/f Noise Type

A fractal signal x(t) in biomedical engineering may be characterized by 1/f noise, that is, the power spectrum density (PSD) divergences at f=0. According the Taqqu’s law, 1/f noise has the properties of long-range dependence and heavy-tailed probability density function (PDF). The contribution of t...
