Abstract

Rescaled range analysis (R/S) method is a scaling method commonly used for detecting the long-range correlations in many time series. The aim of this paper is to show that, using the rescaled range analysis on sunspot time series, how the threshold values q affects the correlations of the return intervals for events above a certain threshold q. We find that both the original records and the return intervals are long-range correlated.
