Fig. 4.
Pink (power law) noise with a power law exponent of α = 2 was used as a surrogate signal. The number of phase resets per sample (n/N) was held constant at 0.04 so as to observe the asymptotic behavior of fv as the number of points in the signal increased. Results are plotted on a semi-logarithmic scale to emphasize that the fv variance (“metavariance”) can be accurately captured from ~103 samples.
