I just received the INSITE software from INSITE,Inc. (relating directly
to Parker and Chua's book  "Practical Numerical Algorithms for Chaotic
Systems", Springer Verlag, 1989). INSITE will calculate the
correlation dimension and Lyapunov dimension. Algorithms exist
(in the textbook) to also calculate the following dimension types:

1. Capacity (this is standard "box" method described elsewhere)
2. Information
3. Kth Nearest Neighbor
