The zeta distribution

The previous post on the Yule-Simon distribution mentioned the zeta distribution at the end. This is a powerlaw distribution on the positive integers with normalizing constant given by the Riemann zeta distribution. That is, the zeta distribution has density f(k; s) = k–s / ζ(s). where k is a positive integer and s > 1 is […] The post The zeta distribution first appeared on John D. Cook....
