Abstract

Multifractal analysis explores patterns to discover within them characteristic sets of multiple fractal dimensions. Using computer software, patterns are resolved over decreasing scales and examined under various distorting lenses to make multifractal spectra that can sometimes tell much about the state of a system, including physiological systems. Here we review some key tenets of the multifractal formalism using box-counting as the basis for software-based multifractal analysis, and discuss some applications to cell morphology, retinal pathology, cancer, and heart rate variability.
