Since this seems to be largely a Q&A group, I'm posting the question here.
My training has for the most part been in Applied Mathematics and
Statistics and am slightly confused by the terminology.  I have found the
FAQ and Book Lists quite helpful for general information, but I think that
I may need a more specific answer.  I am looking for a reference that
particularly deals with Fractals(possibly chaotic) in time series.  I have
found some of the dynamical systems books interesting, but since I am not
very familiar with that subject I have been unable to efficiently use that
information.  If some one would be good enough to suggest a reference, with
a short discussion of the relationship of the book to this topic, I would
greatly appreciate it.  Also, I am interested in algorithms to compute the
fractal time series parameters.  I am going to download fractint, but just
the same I would like references on such algorithms so I can understand them
and possibly code my own programs.  By the way, if someone is interested in
correspondence on this problem, I would be glad to reply(given adequate time
to research the subject of course).  If any could recommend a conference or
newsletter that would also be appreciated.  Thanks for everything and
anything.
