Fractal-Based Point Processes

The first book to address the systematic analysis, modeling, and synthesis of fractals, wavelets, and fractal—rate point processes together, Fractal Point Processes provides extensive coverage of the scaling properties of fractals and the discrete nature of random point processes. These processes model a wide variety of real—world phenomena from a diverse array of disciplines including engineering, mathematics, statistics, medicine, psychology, and geophysics—all lucidly described in this comprehensive resource.
