Correlation dimension is a statistical measure used to characterize the complexity of a dynamical system by quantifying the fractal properties of its trajectory. It assesses how patterns in data change across different scales, providing insight into the underlying structure and behavior of the system, particularly in chaotic and complex systems. This concept is often linked to topological entropy, as both aim to measure the unpredictability and complexity of symbolic systems.
congrats on reading the definition of correlation dimension. now let's actually learn it.
