Fractal-Based Point Processes, 9780471383765
Hardcover
This book addresses the systematic analysis, modeling, and synthesis of integrated fractal and fractal-rate point processes in a rigorous but useful manner. Fractal and fractal-rate point processes exhibit both the scaling properties of fractals, and the discrete nature of random point processes.

Summary

An integrated approach to fractals and point processes This publication provides a complete and integrated presentation of the fields of fractals and point processes, from definitions and measures to analysis and estimation. The authors skillfully demonstrate how fractal-based point processes, established as the intersection of these two fields, are tremendously useful for representing and describing a wide variety of diverse phenomena in the physical and biological sciences. Topics range fr…
