I have a general question about multifractal analysis:

Suppose that I have two figures, that are multifractals. The question is, how I can compare how similar they are to each other? Can I do it by taking into consideration, that according to the Rényi Dimension, when $q=0$, this corresponds to the box square dimension? Or should I take $q=1$, that is the information dimension or $q=2$, that is the correlation dimension?

Thanks

    Why only take one dimension when you can compare all dimensions? After all, it's multifractals we are talking about, so only specifying one dimension doesn't fully characterize them.2011-11-18

    thanks @Raskolnikov, so do you mean that I should also compare the other dimensions q=1, q=2 etc., or I can take an sum over the values of all the different dimensions and average them?2011-11-18

    You have in principle a full spectrum of dimensions, not just for integer values. So you should compare the two spectra in a way. But I'm not sure what the best measure of comparison would be.2011-11-18
