It is based on maximizing 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.enCopyright © 1996 Published by Elsevier B.V.Finite data setsmulti-fractal spectrumbinary multiplicative multi-fractalgeneralized dimensionsJournal article00300010202011081613550310.1016/S0378-4371(96)00165-3A1996VZ257000252-s2.0-003040096165026Roberts, A.
