Abstract

A new program RIVER for evaluating the fractal dimension of real data sets was written. Its performance was compared with two programs HarFA - demo version and CoastLine, available in Internet. The three programs were tested on about 50 data sets. The program RIVER yielded the maximal errors less than 3 percentages for all tested data sets, while the other tested programs gave more than 10 percentage errors.
