23. Mexican hat wavelets of scale parameter a =1,2,4,...,32 are used to select wavelet components from the flutuation data (Ref. 19). Hurst parameters are obtained for each wavelet component using all the three techniques. It is observed that in the long-time range (exceeding 4a), H(RMS)=H(Lévy) = 0, while H(R/S) = 0.13 for all scales. The latter is an artifact because wavelet components do not have long-range correlation. Details will be published separately.
