Many types of financial time series, most notably market returns, have been found to exhibit long-range memory as well as dramatic day-to-day swings that cannot be adequately represented by light-tailed distributions such as the normal distribution. In particular, this means that for such time series, the sum of covariances at all time lags is not defined because the covariance function does not converge to zero fast enough as the time lag increases. Moreover in such time series, often the tails of the marginal density converge to zero so slowly that higher-order marginal moments such as skewness and kurtosis fail to exist. Therefore conventional methods for analyzing simulation-generated time series cannot generally be applied to high-fidelity simulations of financial markets.

520 $a Many types of financial time series, most notably market returns, have been found to exhibit long-range memory as well as dramatic day-to-day swings that cannot be adequately represented by light-tailed distributions such as the normal distribution. In particular, this means that for such time series, the sum of covariances at all time lags is not defined because the covariance function does not converge to zero fast enough as the time lag increases. Moreover in such time series, often the tails of the marginal density converge to zero so slowly that higher-order marginal moments such as skewness and kurtosis fail to exist. Therefore conventional methods for analyzing simulation-generated time series cannot generally be applied to high-fidelity simulations of financial markets.
520 $a Building on earlier work in fractal geometry and fractal time series, in 1997 Mandelbrot et al. proposed the multifractal model of asset returns (MMAR) as an alternative to the ARCH models for analyzing time series exhibiting volatility clustering, long-range dependence, and heavy-tailed returns. Mandelbrot et al. defined the multifractal spectrum as the renormalized probability density function of the Holder exponents observed in the time series; and they used the multifractal spectrum to measure the ability of MMAR to match the statistical properties of real data. In 2002 Kantelhardt et al. formulated multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA), an algorithm for extracting the multifractal spectrum from a time series.
520 $a Many economists have recently adopted agent-based simulation for modeling financial markets. Fads based on new products, shocks related to world events, scandals involving company leaders, or outright criminal activity can drastically change the processes and relationships governing a market. Already there is evidence that agent-based models yield more accurate approximations to the true or observed behavior in financial markets compared with approximations achieved with conventional discrete-event models. Agent-based models exhibit emergent behaviors that have been linked to non-Gaussian interaction metrics and singularities in the time series they generate.
520 $a To analyze market-return time series exhibiting volatility clustering, long-range dependence, or heavy-tailed marginals, we exploit multifractal analysis and agent-based simulation. We develop a robust, automated software tool for extracting the multifractal spectrum of a time series based on MF-DFA. Guidelines are given for setting MF-DFA's parameters in practice. The software is tested on simulated data with closed-form monofractal and multifractal spectra as well as on observed data, and the results are analyzed. We also present a prototype agent-based financial market model and analyze its output using MF-DFA. The ultimate objective is to expand this model to study the effects of microlevel agent behaviors on the macrolevel time series output as analyzed by MF-DFA. Finally we explore the potential for validating agent-based models using MF-DFA.
