β¦ Synopsis
We show that the Hausdor dimension equals the logarithmic loss unpredictability for any set of inΓΏnite sequences over a ΓΏnite alphabet. Using computable, feasible, and ΓΏnite-state predictors, this equivalence also holds for the computable, feasible, and ΓΏnite-state dimensions. Combining this with recent results of Fortnow and Lutz (Proc. 15th Ann. Conf. on Comput. Learning Theory (2002) 380), we have a tight relationship between prediction with respect to logarithmic loss and prediction with respect to absolute loss.

The fractal dimension of trabecular bone was determined for biopsies from the proximal femur of 25 subjects undergoing hip arthroplasty. The average age was 67.7 years. A binary profile of the trabecular bone in the biopsy was obtained from a digitized image. A program written for the Quantimet 520
In this paper, the concept of fractal is applied to describe the features of nucleotide sequences. We introduce the mapping from nucleotide sequences to two-dimensional metric space. Then we use this mapping to study quantitatively the self-similarity of exon and intron sequences in different scales
