1/f noise in Power spectrum Leads to Long-memory effects

Whilst it is relatively simple to yield power-law (scale-free) relationships in the correlation function (see below), it is of particular interest if the relationship is of the form,

latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:

.. so called '1/f noise', 'flicker noise', or 'pink noise' (see w: link on parent page). The reasoning is as follows:

  1. We have the temporal correlation function:

    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    

    and the cosine transformed power spectrum

    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    
    ,
  2. Now, suppose

    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    

    and

    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    
    ,
  3. Notice that given

    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    

    on the LHS we have

    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    
    for the power spectrum, whilst on the right hand side we have
    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    
    which is a linear function of
    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    
    . Now
    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    
    is the interval of correlation, or in other words the period of correlation. Hence, since we assume
    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    
    , we are actually assuming,
    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    
    ;
  4. Combine this with the cosine transform of f in the power spectrum and we have that (LHS ~ RHS):

    latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:
    
    

That is, if we find that

latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:

(as in flicker noise), then this implies that
latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:

, which causes the assumed relationship for
latex error! exitcode was 2 (signal 0), transscript follows:

to break down and instead be replaced by slow logarithmic decay. Very low-frequency signals have significant impact on inter-temporal events. Hence, the interest in 1/f distributions in the power function.
