To install the programs, use the standard make procedure in this
directory. If all goes well, compile the ../simulation directory and
change back to this directory, and then to the test directory, and use
the standard make procedure to make the test cases. Be advised that
this is an extremely long process; for example, about 30 hours on a
20Mhz 386. If all goes well, install the following programs in the
executable path:

    tsshannon
    tslsq
    tslogreturns
    tsintegrate
    tshurst
    tshcalc
    tsderivative
    tsnormal
    tsfraction
    tsshannonmax
    tschangewager
    tssample
    tsXsquared
    tsrms
    tsavg
    tsshannonwindow
    tsmath
    tsavgwindow
    tspole
    tsdft
    tsdeterministic
    tsnumber
    tsrmswindow
    tsstatest
    tsunfraction
    tsshannonaggregate
    tsinstant
    tsshannonvolume
    tsshannonfundamental
    tsrunlength
    tsunshannon
    tsrootmean
    tsrunmagnitude
    tskurtosis
    tskurtosiswindow
    tsrootmeanscale
    tsscalederivative
    tsgain
    tsgainwindow
    tskalman

    nroff -man file.1 > file.catman

for those systems that do not support nroff.

The programs are written in ANSI standard C, but there is little or no
provisions for handling numerical exceptions. Usually, a great deal of
analytical skill is required in an interactive analysis of fractal
time series, and should probably not be attempted by the novice for
other than academic purposes.
