I did not read the link but Benoit Mandelbrot basically showed this 30 years ago. So what's the news?

  Computer scientists do not stand on the shoulder of giants, they slay them, grind them up and then do all the work again. > You want to make your way in the CS field? Simple. Calculate rough time of amnesia (hell, 10 years is plenty, probably 10 months is plenty), go to the dusty archives, dig out something fun, and go for it. It's worked for many people, and it can work for you. -- Ron Minnich

    No doubt because you reacted dismissively to the title alone instead of engaging with the specifics of the article.

  You should've read the link then. This isn't purporting to be new findings. It's basically a showcase for R code.

  It might not be news to you. Do you have any links to Mandelbrot's work in this field?
