A Mathematical Analysis of Benford's Law and its Generalization
Alex E. Kossovsky, Wayne M. Lawton
We explain Kossovsky's generalization of Benford's law which is a formula that approximates the distribution of leftmost digits in finite sequences of natural data and apply it to…
Exponential Growth Series and Benford's Law
Alex Ely Kossovsky
Exponential growth occurs when the growth rate of a given quantity is proportional to the quantity's current value. Surprisingly, when exponential growth data is plotted as a simpl…
Quantitative Partition Models and Benford's Law
Alex Ely Kossovsky
Benford's Law predicts that the first significant digit on the leftmost side of numbers in real-life data is proportioned between all possible 1 to 9 digits approximately as in LOG…
Prime Numbers, Dirichlet Density, and Benford's Law
Alex Ely Kossovsky
The Prime Numbers are well-known for their paradoxical stand regarding Benford's Law. On one hand they adamantly refuse to obey the law of Benford in the usual sense, namely that o…
Random Consolidations and Fragmentations Cycles Lead to Benford' Law
Alex Ely Kossovsky
Benford's Law predicts that the first significant digit on the leftmost side of numbers in real-life data is proportioned between all possible 1 to 9 digits approximately as in LOG…
Arithmetical Tugs of War and Benford's Law
Alex Ely Kossovsky
Benford's Law predicts that the first significant digit on the leftmost side of numbers in real-life data is proportioned between all possible 1 to 9 digits approximately as in LOG…
On the Relative Quantities Occurring within Physical Data Sets
Alex Ely Kossovsky
A statistical measure is given expressing relative occurrences of quantities within a given data set. Application of this measure on several real life physical data sets and some a…
Scale invariance versus translation variance in Nash bargaining problem
Alex Ely Kossovsky
Nash's solution in his celebrated article on the bargaining problem calling for maximization of product of marginal utilities is revisited; a different line of argument supporting…
Towards A Better Understanding Of The Leading Digits Phenomena
Alex Ely Kossovsky
That the logarithmic distribution manifests itself in the random as well as in the deterministic (multiplication processes) has long intrigued researchers in Benford's Law. In this…
