There is a theoretical linear relationship growth in the (log) wavelet energy for increasing wavelet scale. This corresponds to the decay in the autocorrelation of a (long range dependent) time series being analysed, and therefore the Hurst exponent, H. The specific relation to H is dependent to the assumed model; in particular for a Fractional Brownian motion, the relationship between H and the slope is H = abs(beta - 1)/2, whereas for Fractional Gaussian noise or dth order Fractional differenced series, the relationship is H = (beta+1)/2.
