Maximum Entropy Framework for a Universal Rank Order distribution with Socio-economic Applications
Abhik Ghosh, Preety Shreya, Banasri Basu
In this paper we derive the maximum entropy characteristics of a particular rank order distribution, namely the discrete generalized beta distribution, which has recently been obse…

Universal City-size distributions through rank ordering
Abhik Ghosh, Banasri Basu
We consider a two-parameter discrete generalized beta (DGB) distribution and propose its universal applications to study the size-distribution of the urban agglomerations across va…
