Empirical analysis of fractal dimensions on cash return and price indices of listed companies of Tehran Stock Exchange

The goal of this research is to empirical analyzing fractal dimensions on cash return and price indices of listed companies of Tehran Stock Exchange. To have access to this goal, cash return and price indices of Tehran Stock Exchange were studied. Statistical sample of research includes cash return and price indices during period 1382 to 1391. Using R/S analysis and Hurst exponent, this research surveys the cash return and price time series being stochastic. To study the stochastic time series and differentiating from time series are not stochastic, R/S analysis is used as an efficient nonlinear method. Distribution type disrelation is the most important advantage of R/S analysis. Results of research show that, cash return and price indices time series are not stochastic and have a long-memory.
