Relation between Magnitude Series Correlations and Multifractal Spectrum Width

We study the correlation properties of long-range correlated time series, $x_i$, with tunable correlation exponent and built-in multifractal properties. For the cases we investigate we find that the correlation exponent of the magnitude series, $|x_{i+1}-x_i|$, is a monotonically increasing function of the multifractal spectrum width of the original series.
