چکیده
|
Over the last few years,the power law distribution has been used as the data gener- ating mechanism in many disparate elds. however,at times the techniques used to fit the power law distribution have been inappropriate. this paper describes the powerlaw r package,which makes fitting power laws and other heavy-tailed distributions straight forward. this package contains r functions for ftting,comparing and visualizing heavy tailed distributions. overall,it provides a principled approach to power law fitting. © 2015 american statistical association. all rights reserved.
