Dear Tom,

I have run the code. but the values of H and graphs turn out to be very different. Even graphs do not look like the paper. I attach the output and one sample graph generated by the new code for your reference. Only Fig 1(a)- Trace of EW and Fig 2(b)-equally weighed index log-log plot match with the paper. Previous codes seem to be given better values of H. Value of MA coefficients turn out to be positive 0.40 which was negative -0.40 in the paper.
Looking forward for your reply,
With regards,
Prashant

The signs of MA coefficients depend upon the parameterization. RATS uses (1+thetaL)u_t while some software uses (1-thetaL)u_t which will give exactly the same magnitude but opposite signs.

I fixed an error with that revised @HURST. Download the newest one.
