Not all estimators are born equal: The empirical properties of some estimators of long memory

We present the results of a simulation study into the properties of 12 different estimators of the Hurst parameter, H, or the fractional integration parameter, d, in long memory time series which are available in R packages. We compare and contrast their performance on simulated Fractional Gaussian...
