3 Fractals Que son? Como estudiarlos? por que nos pueden importar? Material extraido del libro Introduction to Fractals Larry S. Liebovitch Lina A. Shehadeh

4 How fractals CHANGE the most basic ways we analyze and understand experimental data.

5 Non-Fractal

6 Fractal

7 El universo es Fractal

8 Non - Fractal Size of Features 1 cm 1 characteristic scale

9 Fractal Size of Features 2 cm 1 cm 1/2 cm 1/4 cm many different scales

10 Fractals Self-Similarity Auto-similaridad

16 Statistical Self-Similarity The statistics of the big pieces is the same as the statistics of the small pieces.

18 Currents Through Ion Channels

24 Fractals Scaling

25 Scaling The value measured depends on the resolution used to do the measurement.

Effective Kinetic Rate Constant: k eff = Prob. to change states in the next t, given that we have already remained in the state for a time k eff. age-specific failure rate k eff = Pr ( T=t, t+ t T > t eff ) / t = d ln P(t) dt P(t) = cumulative dwell time distribution

30 Fractal Approach New viewpoint: Analyze how a property, the effective kinetic rate constant, k eff, depends on the effective time scale, t eff, at which it is measured. This Scaling Relationship: We are using this to learn about the structure and motions in the ion channel protein.

31 Logarithm of the measuremnt one measurement: not so interesting one value Scaling Logarithm of the measuremnt scaling relationship: much more interesting slope Logarithm of the resolution used to make the measurement Logarithm of the resolution used to make the measurement

71 Summary of Fractal Properties Scaling The value measured depends on the resolution.

72 Summary of Fractal Properties Statistical Properties Moments may be zero or infinite.

73 Statistics is NOT a dead science. 400 years ago: Gambling Problems Probability Theory 200 years ago: Statistics How we do experiments. 100 years ago: Student s t-test, F-test, ANOVA Now: Still changing

74 Fractals CHANGE the most basic ways we analyze and understand experimental data. Fractals No Bell Curves No Moments No mean ± s.e.m. Measurements over many scales. What is real is not one number, but how the measured values change with the scale at which they are measured (fractal dimension).
