Similarity of symbol frequency distributions with heavy tails

Martin Gerlach, Francesc Font-Clos, Eduardo G. Altmann

Quantifying the similarity between symbolic sequences is a traditional problem in Information Theory which requires comparing the frequencies of symbols in different sequences. In…

Log-log Convexity of Type-Token Growth in Zipf's Systems

Francesc Font-Clos, Alvaro Corral

It is traditionally assumed that Zipf's law implies the power-law growth of the number of different elements with the total number of elements in a system - the so-called Heaps' la…

Reply to "Comment on 'A Scaling law beyond Zipf's law and its relation to Heaps' law'"

Francesc Font-Clos, Álvaro Corral

In [arXiv:1404.1461], Yan and Minnhagen argue that the scaling law for the text-length dependence of word-frequency distributions proposed in [New J. Phys. 15 093033, arXiv:1303.07…

The configuration multi-edge model: Assessing the effect of fixing node strengths on weighted network magnitudes

Oleguer Sagarra, Francesc Font-Clos, Conrad J. Pérez-Vicente +1

Complex networks grow subject to structural constraints which affect their measurable properties. Assessing the effect that such constraints impose on their observables is thus a c…

A scaling law beyond Zipf's law and its relation to Heaps' law

Francesc Font-Clos, Gemma Boleda, Álvaro Corral

The dependence with text length of the statistical properties of word occurrences has long been considered a severe limitation quantitative linguistics. We propose a simple scaling…
