Calculating Fractal Dimension

Fd3, a program written by John Sarraille and Peter DiFalco, estimates fractal dimension for finite sets of data. The program was created using ideas from Liebovitch and Toth (1989). It uses the box-counting method of estimating dimensions. Fd3, estimates capacity dimension, and the correlation dimension which we used for this project. The uncertainties in the computed fractal dimensions are of order 5%.
