Power Laws, Zipf’s Law, and Scaling Laws in Human Language and Music
Power-law distributions have been a paradigm of complex systems for several decades. But it has been only recently that attention has been devoted to the proper fitting and goodness-of-fit testing of these distributions; in particular, Clauset et al.’s method is widely cited in this regard [1]. In the first part of the talk we present evidence that this method fails in some concrete examples of...
متن کاملPower-laws and Non-Power-laws in Dark Matter Halos
Simulated dark matter profiles are often modelled as a ‘NFW’ density profile rather than a single power law. Recently, attention has turned to the rather rigorous power-law behaviour exhibited by the ‘pseudo phase-space density’ of the dark matter halo, which is defined dimensionally in terms of the local density and velocity dispersion of the dark matter particles. The non-power-law behaviour ...
متن کاملThe Power of Music: Searching for Power-Laws in Symbolic Musical Data
Recently, many research contributions focus on showing that specific real-life phenomena or measured quantities of our everyday life obey a power-law, a scale free distribution. Inspired by the numerous studies in power-laws, in this paper, we explore the existence of power-law relationships in musical data. We provide the context where such power-laws do exist, and we give experimental results...
متن کاملPower laws in biology
Why live larger mammals longer than smaller ones? Why is the energy consumption per body mass of a mouse six times higher than that of a human? These questions and many others dealing with biological allometry kept and keep biologists busy since the second half of nineteenth century and as it seems, the ultimate answers have not yet been given. Analyzing allometry is particularly attractive sin...
