Beyond Zipf’s Law: The Lavalette Rank Function and Its Properties
Although Zipf's law is widespread in natural and social data, one often encounters situations where one or both ends of the ranked data deviate from the power-law function. Previously we proposed the Beta rank function to improve the fitting of data which does not follow a perfect Zipf's law. Here we show that when the two parameters in the Beta rank function have the same value, the Lavalette ...
متن کاملGlobalization and Law: Law Beyond the State
If globalization is the main paradigm of our time, then a chapter on globalization and law could also be entitled, simply, the law of our time. Few, if any, areas of law are not—at least potentially—fundamentally impacted by globalization. In reality, of course, the impact of globalization on legal thought has, so far, been more limited. That has various reasons. A first reason is that globaliz...
متن کاملA Quartic Quality Loss Function and Its Properties
We propose a quartic function to represent a family of continuous quality loss functions. Depending on the choice of its parameters the shape of this function within the specification limits can be either symmetric or asymmetric, and it can be either similar to the ubiquitous quadratic loss function or somewhat closer to the conventional step function. We examine this family of loss functions i...

Weber's law orthogonal to the psychometric function
Psychometric function plots the percentage of the correct responses among an entire pool of responses (cumulative probability) in a psychophysical task versus the amount of change in an independent variable. These changes in the independent variable are made with reference to a constant initial value. If this initial value is altered, the psychometric function will change according to Weber’s l...
