Table 2.

Different scaling exponents found by linear fitting in the logarithmic displacement vs. time scale plot.

Value of α at n	Type of correlation	Nature of correlation	Effect on data
>0.5	Persistence	Positive (negative) increment followed by positive (negative) increment	Expansion
<0.5	Anti-persistence	Positive (negative) increment followed by negative (positive) increment	Contraction (stabilization)
=0.5	Brownian motion	No correlation between increments	(No control)
