Title
Multifractal Analysis of Daily US COVID-19 Cases
Synopsis
In this work, we applied the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDA) to analyze the highly irregular behavior or volatility clustering of daily COVID-19 cases in the United States. We use the multifractal spectrum of the MFDFA to characterize the path and predict short or long-memory behavior of the time series on different time scales. Empirical results from the generalized Hurst exponent (gHE) and multifractal spectrum estimation indicates that path of the COVID-19 cases is multifractal and keeps becoming less fractal as the days progresses.
