Power-Law Distributions in Empirical Data [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Review, 2007
Power-law distributions occur in many situations of scientific interest and have significant consequences for our understanding of natural and man-made phenomena. Unfortunately, the detection and characterization of power laws is complicated by the large

Problems with fitting to the power-law distribution [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal B, 2004
.This short communication uses a simple experiment to show that fitting to a power law distribution by using graphical methods based on linear fit on the log-log scale is biased and inaccurate.

Hierarchy and the power-law income distribution tail [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Computational Social Science, 2018
What explains the power-law distribution of top incomes? This paper tests the hypothesis that it is firm hierarchy that creates the power-law income distribution tail.

Power Law Distribution in Electric Power Data

open access: yesDianxin kexue, 2013
The explorative analysis plays an important role in the process of data mining. The non-normally distributed data in the electric power data was analyzed.

Power-law stellar distributions [PDF]

open access: yesPhysica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2005
The density profiles and other quantities of physical interest for spherically symmetric systems are computed by assuming that a collisionless stellar gas may relax to the non-Gaussian power law distribution suggested by the nonextensive kinetic theory. There are two different classes of solutions.

Firm-Size Distribution in Poland: Is Power Law Applicable?

open access: yesGospodarka Narodowa. The Polish Journal of Economics, 2021
This article focuses on the existence of power laws in the firm-size distribution in Poland. Specifically, we empirically test whether the size distribution of companies in Poland has the characteristics of Zipf ’s law, a special case of power law ...

Power law distributions in class relationships [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings Third IEEE International Workshop on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation, 2004
Power law distributions have been found in many natural and social phenomena, and more recently in the source code and run-time characteristics of Object-Oriented (OO) systems. A power law implies that small values are extremely common, whereas large values are extremely rare.

Gibbsian Theory of Power-Law Distributions [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2008
It is shown that power law phase space distributions describe marginally stable Gibbsian equilibria far from thermal equilibrium which are expected to occur in collisionless plasmas containing fully developed quasi-stationary turbulence. Gibbsian theory is extended on the fundamental level to statistically dependent subsystems introducing an `ordering ...
