In practice, DLA clusters are grown from the centre of a cell and one record the number of sites in the cluster when its radius of gyration becomes equal to the cell size. Then the number of such occurrences is determined as a function of the number of sites in the cluster at that time. The data are fitted to a Gaussian, and the resulting curve is integrated to obtain Monte Carlo estimates of the coefficients in the renormalization transformation. 1, record 3, English, - Gaussian

The next step toward realism and applicability is taken when the extended Weierstrass function is randomized. The simplest and most intrinsic method consists in multiplying its Fourier coefficients by independent complex Gaussian factors of zero mean and unit variance. The real and imaginary parts of the result deserve to be called Weierstrass(modified)-Gauss functions. In several ways, they are approximate fractional Brown functions. 1, record 4, English, - Weierstrass%20modified%2DGauss%20function

Noise should be confronted by filtering with a point-spread function that attenuates high frequencies. The two-dimensional Gaussian function is a particularly good choice. The choice reduction of the Gaussian filtering cancels the noise enhancement of the differencing procedures. 1, record 6, English, - Gaussian%20filtering
