Computes fractal dimension using the box counting method.
1 | box_counting(data, min_vox_size, store_fit, message)
|
data |
a data.frame or data.table containing the x, y, z, ... coordinates of a point cloud. |
min_vox_size |
numeric. The minimum size of a voxel. Default = 0.01. |
store_fit |
logical. If TRUE, the parameters linear model's fit are returned. Default = FALSE. |
message |
logical. If FALSE, messages are disabled. Default = TRUE. |
If store_fit = FALSE
only the fractal dimension is returned. If store_fit = TRUE
the parameters of the linear model used to estimate the fractal dimension and
a table containing the number of boxes (i.e. voxels) at any resolution are
returned in a list in addition to the fractal dimension.
