characterize the binomial/ p model is the second order mass exponent ˄ (2) ¼

log 2 { p 2 +(1 p ) 2 }. If the binomial/ p model is satisfied, anyone of the param-

2 (log e x ) can be used for characterization. Using
different parameters can be helpful in finding significant departures from model
validity if these exist.
According to Chen et al. ( 2007 ) local scaling behaviour follows the following
power-law relationship:
