Title: | Size-frequency and rank-frequency relations,power laws and exponential relations: a unified approach | Authors: | EGGHE, Leo ROUSSEAU, Ronald |
Issue Date: | 2003 | Publisher: | Taylor & Francis | Source: | Progress in Natural science, 13(6). p. 478-480 | Abstract: | Power laws, such as Zipf s law, and exponential relations, leading to straight lines in logarithmic or semi-logarithmic scales, are presented in a unified setting. It is shown that the class of size-frequency power laws is larger than the class of rank-frequency power laws. Their ubiquity in all fields of science is illustrated. | Keywords: | power laws; Lotka's law; Zipf's law; exponentials; unification | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/765 | ISSN: | 1002-0071 | e-ISSN: | 1745-5391 | DOI: | 10.1080/10020070312331343880 | ISI #: | 000183347000014 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2004 |
