    Resummation Methods for Analyzing Time Series

    Full text link
    An approach is suggested for analyzing time series by means of resummation techniques of theoretical physics. A particular form of such an analysis, based on the algebraic self-similar renormalization, is developed and illustrated by several examples from the stock market time series.Comment: Corrections are made to match the published versio

    Renormalization Group Analysis of October Market Crashes

    Full text link
    The self-similar analysis of time series, suggested earlier by the authors, is applied to the description of market crises. The main attention is payed to the October 1929, 1987 and 1997 stock market crises, which can be successfully treated by the suggested approach. The analogy between market crashes and critical phenomena is emphasized.Comment: Corrections are made to match the published versio

    Effective Summation and Interpolation of Series by Self-Similar Root Approximants

    Full text link
    We describe a simple analytical method for effective summation of series, including divergent series. The method is based on self-similar approximation theory resulting in self-similar root approximants. The method is shown to be general and applicable to different problems, as is illustrated by a number of examples. The accuracy of the method is not worse, and in many cases better, than that of Pade approximants, when the latter can be defined.Comment: Latex file, 18 page
