About the multivariate fractional Brownian motion

Résumé

Since the pioneering work by Mandelbrot and Van Ness in 1968, the fractional Brownian motion (fBm) became a classical stochastic process for modelling one-dimesional self-similar or long-memory processes. In particular, we have recently applied this model to characterize the regularity and dependence of fMRI signals acquired in the brain of resting-state patients. This analysis was conducted independently on each region of interest of the brain. Despite the first analysis showed interesting results, the model needed to be improved in order to take into account the possible connectivityof regions of interest. In this talk, we present an extension of the fBm to the multivariate case that may be well-suited to such data: the multivariate fractional Brownian motion (mfBm) characterized in particular by p Hurst exponents. After recalling some facts about the fBm, we will state some theoretical properties of the mfBm: (cross)-correlation, spectral density matrix, wavelet analysis, existence conditions. Then, we will detail how we can exactly and quickly generate sample paths of the mfBm. Finally, we will focus on the statistical inference and mainly on the joint estimation of the fractal exponents $(H_1, ..., H_p)$ using a discrete variations techniques.
