Talk:Multifractal system

Article needs expanding
In my opinion, the article needs to be expanded. A non-technical introduction may be very useful, as well as some external references.

Regarding the mathematical content, the presentation through singularity exponents makes it clearer than its alternatives (moments of partition functions or measures), although some relation to (turbulent) cascade models could be apropriate.

The only problem is an article about singularity exponents doesnt exist Lbertolotti —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbertolotti (talk • contribs) 07:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

This third sentence of the second paragraph has a comma in it that's confusing the heck out of me. Now, I'm already confused by the subject matter, so I might just be confused all around, but it just doesn't seem like English. "The origin of multifractality in sequential (time series) data has been attributed, to mathematical convergence effects related to the central limit theorem that have as foci of convergence the family of statistical distributions known as the Tweedie exponential dispersion models[2] as well as the geometric Tweedie models." Shouldn't that be comma free? 204.128.192.31 (talk) 18:21, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

link to reference
In the "Estimation" section, the link to Roberts & Cronin 1996 doesn't work as it should, but I don't know how to fix it. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:47, 18 November 2019 (UTC)


 * When I click on the link, I'm taken to a page that displays the message "Due to a server upgrade in July 2014, this web service is not working at the moment. Contact me by email." So, I regard the link as working, even though it doesn't lead to the work cited; but it looks like something a Wikipedia editor can't fix on their own, unless they can point it to another site.

Heavy sentence exploded
Here's a somewhat definitional sentence from lead, reformatted with bullets:

The origin of multifractality in sequential (time series) data has been attributed to
 * mathematical convergence effects
 * related to the central limit theorem
 * that have as foci of convergence
 * the family of statistical distributions known as the Tweedie exponential dispersion models
 * as well as the geometric Tweedie models.

That's a bit too much to chew in one mouthful, is it not? &mdash; MaxEnt 02:17, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
