Özet

In this paper, we introduce the concept of fractal random variables and their related distribution functions and statistical properties. Fractal calculus is a generalisation of standard calculus which includes function with fractal support. Here we combine this emerging field of study with probability theory, defining concepts such as Shannon entropy on fractal thin Cantor-like sets. Stable distributions on fractal sets are suggested and related physical models are presented. Our work is illustrated with graphs for clarity of the results.
