That method is applied to well-known problems in deterministic chaos (the logistic map and the Lorenz model) to check its effectiveness in characterizing the dynamical behaviors. It is found that the indices $μ_q$ are as useful as the Lyapunov exponents in providing a quantitative measure of chaos.10 pages + 7 figures (in ps file), LaTex, Submitted to Phys. Rev.
