Figure 4. Estimating Kesten parameters in experimental data.

Figure 4

An estimate of the parameter Inline graphic can be obtained from k-times iterated mappings of the data as explained in text. These mappings are shown for 1, 8, 24 and 48 time-steps, corresponding to 0.5, 4, 12 and 24 hours respectively (A–D); from each such mapping the slope of the linear regression (solid black line) is extracted. (E) The logarithmic values of these slopes (circles) plotted as a function of iteration number and fit by linear regression (solid black line) to obtain an estimate of Inline graphic. (F) The measured slopes (circles) with the predicted slope values (red line) over an extended time scale.
