While the numerical methods which utilizes partitions of equal-size, including the box-counting method, remain the most popular choice for computing the generalized dimension of multifractal sets, two mass- oriented methods are investigated by applying them to the one-dimensional generalized Cantor set. We show that both mass-oriented methods generate relatively good results for generalized dimensions for important cases where the box-counting method is known to fail. Both the strengths and limitations of the methods are also discussed.
