Contemporary literature suggests that the effective market hypothesis is not substantiated. Instead, it suggests the Fractal Market Hypothesis (FMH). Fractal markets are characterized by long-term memory. The main feature of the fractal market is that the frequency distribution of the indicator looks the same across diffe­ rent investment horizons. In such cases, it is said that for an appropriate indicator, the phenomenon of scale invariance is observed. All daily changes are correlated with all future daily changes, all weekly changes are correlated with all future weekly changes. There is no characteristic time scale, a key characteristic of the time series. The presence of memory in the time series can be characterized by the Hearst indicator. This paper analyzes the hryvnia to US dollar exchange rate for the period 04.06.14-04.01.15. Finding the Hearst index made it possible to conclude that there is or is not long-term memory in this series. The presence of long-term memory indi­ cates that the efficient market hypothesis is unjustified. The hypothesis was tested that the longer the averaging intervals are taken into account in the model, the Hearst's index decreases. The analysis does not have great predictive power, however, it allows to identify the presence or absence of long-term memory in the study process and thus to accept or reject the hypothesis of an effective market. That is, the series under study is persistent, thus demonstrating long-term me­ mory availability. Thus, since persistence is revealed, the hypothesis of an effective market for the exchange rate yield is not confirmed, but instead can be argued for the fractality of the hryvnia / dollar exchange rate yield. Therefore, the application of the proposed approach made it possible to find the Hearst rate for the hryvnia / dollar exchange rate. The value found indicates that the effective market hypothesis is not substantiated for at least such an exchange rate.

The following article aims to detect if long-term memory exists in the Mexican exchange rate market. This research was conducted between 1992 and 2016, during which time different intervention mechanisms were presented. The interventions were divided as follows: a) crawling bands (01/1992–12/1994), b) free flotation in crisis (01/1995–07/1996), c) mixed operations with purchases and sales of dollars by the Central Bank (08/1996–06/2001), d) free flotation (07/2001–04/2003), e) accumulation of international reserves (05/2003–02/2009, f) mixed auctions (03/2009–02/2016), and g) free flotation with interest rate increases (03/2016–12/2016). To detect the presence of long-term memory in the peso–dollar exchange rates, we proposed a fuzzy Hurst exponent. The results evidenced distinct types of behaviors depending on the grade of intervention. Compared to a free-floating regime, persistence and fuzzy Hurst values decreased when the Central Bank intervened in the exchange market. On the other hand, uncertainty increased when monetary authorities imposed a mechanism for buying and selling dollars without an exchange rate target.

To model a given time series F(t) with fractal Brownian motions (fBms), it is necessary to have appropriate error assessment for related quantities. Usually the fractal dimension D is derived from the Hurst exponent H via the relation D = 2-H, and the Hurst exponent can be evaluated by analyzing the dependence of the rescaled range 〈|F(t + τ) - F(t)|〉 on the time span τ. For fBms, the error of the rescaled range not only depends on data sampling but also varies with H due to the presence of long term memory. This error for a given time series then can not be assessed without knowing the fractal dimension. We carry out extensive numerical simulations to explore the error of rescaled range of fBms and find that for 0 < H < 0.5, |F(t + τ) - F(t)| can be treated as independent for time spans without overlap; for 0.5 < H < 1, the long term memory makes |F(t + τ) - F(t)| correlated and an approximate method is given to evaluate the error of 〈|F(t + τ) - F(t)|〉. The error and fractal dimension can then be determined self-consistently in the modeling of a time series with fBms.

Purpose Today, because of the increasing need for the energy resources and the reduction of fossil fuels, renewable energy, especially wind energy, has attracted special attention. The precise forecasting of such energy will be the main factor in designing and investing in this field. On the other hand, the wind energy forecast provides the possibility of optimal use of available resources. In addition, the produce maximum energy would be possible by identifying wind direction and putting wind turbines in the best position. Design/methodology/approach Time series forecasting methods with long-term memory in this research have been used. Findings Eventually, the autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (3,0,0)-FIGARCH (1,0,1) long-term memory model has more acceptable performance. The obtained error is based on the RMSE (0.2889) and the TIC (0.2605) values. Practical implications In this paper, the forecast wind direction belongs to Ardebil province and Nayer city in Iran. Originality/value The speed and direction of wind are variables that constantly change; hence, it will be difficult to predict the exact wind energy. In recent years, some studies have been conducted on wind speed forecasting, whereas wind direction forecasting has been done in a fewer number of studies. Most studies are related to low-lying areas. As the height of the wind turbine is directly related to the energy generation, 78 m height has been considered in this study.

The chapter questions the applicability of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) for analysis of financial markets. The overall goal is to analyze methods of forecasting future prices of financial assets based on the concept of the fractal market structure and long-term memory of past prices. Fractals in the financial markets are interpreted either as investors with different investment horizons or as a configuration of the price movement on chart. This chapter examines the fractal structure of financial markets, nonlinear methods of analysis of financial markets, plasticity and long-term memory to long-term investment horizons of financial markets, fractal analysis of financial markets, new approaches to forecast prices of financial assets, which eliminate shortcomings of the linear paradigm.
