fractdim: Computation of Fractal Dimension

In SoilFDA: Fractal Dimension Analysis of Soil Particle Size Distribution

Computation of Fractal Dimension

Description

The function computes the fractal dimension of particle size distribution based on soil mass

Usage

fractdim(Mass, Size, TM, dmax)

Arguments

Mass	Numerical vector containing the mass of each particle size class
Size	Numerical vector containing the average of each particle size class
TM	Numerical value containing the total mass of soil
dmax	Numerical value containing the average of maximum particle size class

Value

Fractal Dimension

Examples

data <- data.frame(Mass = c(15.1,28.9,11.3,14.6,7.9,22.2),
                   Size = c(0.053,0.1765,0.4,1.25,3.375,4.75))
TM <- 100
dmax <- 4.75
attach(data)
fractdim(Mass = Mass, Size = Size, TM = TM, dmax = dmax)
