This paper proposes an approach for the estimation of a time-varying Hurst exponent to allow accurate identification of multifractional Brownian motion (MFBM). The contribution provides a prescription for how to deal with the MFBM measurement data to solve regression and classification problems. Theoretical studies are supplemented with computer simulations and real-world examples. Those prove that the procedure proposed in this paper outperforms the best-in-class algorithm.
