Power-Law Distributions in Empirical Data [PDF]
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]
.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]
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 stellar distributions [PDF]
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?
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]
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]
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 ...
