[R] Box-counting dimension and package 'fdim'

[Remko Duursma]

Dear R-helpers,


I am looking for an implementation of the box-counting algorithm to
estimate the box dimension of a cloud of points in 3D (aka fractal
dimension, or similarity dimension).

The package 'fdim' might be doing this, but the documentation is awful
and I don't understand what is what there.

Does anyone know of an implementation of this algorithm in R, or
elsewhere, or uses the fdim package successfully and can help me out?


thanks,
Remko
