Detrending Moving Average algorithm: a brief review

A short review of an algorithm, called Detrending Moving Average, to estimate the Hurst exponent H of fractals with arbitrary dimension is presented. Therefore, it has the ability to quantify temporal and spatial long-range dependence of fractal sets. Moreover, the method, in addition to accomplish accurate and fast estimates of H, can provide interesting clues between fractal properties, self-organized criticality and entropy of long-range correlated fractal sets.
