Abstract

Fractional Brownian motion (FBM) is related to the notions of self-similarity, ergodicity and long memory. These properties have made FBM important in modeling real-world phenomena in different experiments ranging from telecommunication to biology. However, these experiments are often disturbed by a noise which source can be, e.g., the instrument error. In this paper we propose a rigorous statistical test for FBM with added white Gaussian noise which is based on the autocovariance function. To this end we derive a distribution of the test statistic which is given explicitly by the generalized chi-squared distribution. This allows us to find critical regions for the test with a given significance level. We check the quality of the introduced test by studying its power for alternatives being FBM’s with different self-similarity parameters and the scaled Brownian motion which is also Gaussian and self-similar. We note that the introduced test can be adapted to an arbitrary Gaussian process with a given covariance structure.
