21 Fractional Brownian Motion A generalisation of classical Brownian motion. Used to interpret properties of molecular clouds (e.g. Stutzki et al., 1998, Elia et al., 2014). Parameterised by the Hurst index H H and a standard deviation σ. Relatively simple to generate in Fourier space: P (k) / k = E + 2H σ

39 HANS! Conclusions Q analysis of stellar structures has some serious shortcomings, mainly due to models. Fractional Brownian motion (FBM) provides a convenient model of star cluster morphology, related to molecular clouds. Machine learning techniques can be used to modernise Q analysis. So far, we can classify clusters, and generate synthetic analogues. Simulations needed to better understand physical meaning of parameters.
