Unbiased estimation of multi-fractal dimensions of finite data sets
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a novel method for determining multi-fractal properties from experimental data. It is based on maximising the likelihood that the given finite data set comes from a particular set of parameters in a multi-parameter family of well known multi-fractals. By comparing characteristic correlations obtained from the original data with those that occur in artificially generated multi-fractals with the same number of data points, we expect that predicted multi-fractal properties are unbiased by the finiteness of the experimental data.

متن کاملPedotransfer functions for estimating soil moisture content using fractal parameters in Ardabil province
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Soil moisture curve is an important characteristic of soil and its measurement is necessary for determining soil available water content for plant, evapotranspiration and irrigation planning. Direct measurements of soil moisture coefficients are time-consuming and costly. But it is possible to estimate these characteristics from readily available soil propert...
متن کاملUse the information dimension , not the Hausdorff
Multi-fractal patterns occur widely in nature. In developing new algorithms to determine multi-fractal spectra of experimental data I am lead to the conclusion that generalised dimensions Dq of order q ≤ 0, including the Hausdorff dimension, are effectively irrelevant. The reason is that these dimensions are extraordinarily sensitive to regions of low density in the multi-fractal data. Instead,...
متن کاملConstructions of Mutually Unbiased Bases
Two orthonormal bases B andB′ of a d-dimensional complex inner-product space are called mutually unbiased if and only if |〈b|b〉| = 1/d holds for all b ∈ B and b′ ∈ B′. The size of any set containing pairwise mutually unbiased bases of C cannot exceed d + 1. If d is a power of a prime, then extremal sets containing d+1 mutually unbiased bases are known to exist. We give a simplified proof of thi...
متن کاملFractal Dimensions and Von Neumann Algebras
Using Voiculescu’s notion of a matricial microstate we introduce fractal dimensions and entropy for finite sets of self-adjoint operators in a tracial von Neumann algebra. We show that they possess properties similar to their classical predecessors. We relate the new quantities to free entropy and free entropy dimension and show that a modified version of free Hausdorff dimension is an algebrai...
