Mobile Phone Social Networks: Beyond Power-Law and Lognormal Distributions
We analyze a massive social network gathered from a large mobile phone operator’s records, comprised of millions of users and tens of millions of calls. We examine the following questions: what is the distribution of phone calls per customer; total talk time per customer; and distinct partners per customer? We find that these distributions are skewed, and that they significantly deviate from wh...
متن کاملOn the distributions of seasonal river flows: Lognormal or power law?
[1] Distributional analysis of river discharge time series is an important task in many areas of hydrological engineering, including optimal design of water storage and drainage networks, management of extreme events, risk assessment for water supply, and environmental flow management, among many others. Having diverging moments, heavy-tailed power law distributions have attracted widespread at...
متن کاملA Brief History of Generative Models for Power Law and Lognormal Distributions Draft Manuscript
Power law distributions are an increasingly common model for computer science applications; for example, they have been used to describe file size distributions and inand out-degree distributions for the Web and Internet graphs. Recently, the similar lognormal distribution has also been suggested as an appropriate alternative model for file size distributions. In this paper, we briefly survey s...
متن کاملA Brief History of Generative Models for Power Law and Lognormal Distributions
Recently, I became interested in a current debate over whether file size distributions are best modelled by a power law distribution or a lognormal distribution. In trying to learn enough about these distributions to settle the question, I found a rich and long history, spanning many fields. Indeed, several recently proposed models from the computer science community have antecedents in work fr...
متن کاملAre the discretised lognormal and hooked power law distributions plausible for citation data?
There is no agreement over which statistical distribution is most appropriate for modelling citation count data. This is important because if one distribution is accepted then the relative merits of different citation-based indicators, such as percentiles, arithmetic means and geometric means, can be more fully assessed. In response, this article investigates the plausibility of the discretised...
