The calculation is based on an epsilon-expansion in the correlation exponent: C(t)=|t|^{-1+epsilon}. The fixed point of the theory is associated with stretched exponential scaling of the distribution; analytical expressions, valid in the pre-asymptotic regime, have been provided. Also the permanence time distribution appears to be characterized by stretched exponential scaling. The conditions for application of the theory to non-Gaussian processes have been analyzed and the relations with the issue of return times in the case of multifractal measures have been discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2007-07-30T09:02:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stochastic processes", "power-law scaling", "permanence time distribution appears", "stretched exponential scaling", "return time distribution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
