Yesterday I wrote about the zeta distribution and the Yule-Simon distribution and said that they, along with the Zipf distribution, are all discrete power laws. This post fills in detail for that statement. The probability mass functions for the zeta, Zipf, and Yule-Simon distributions are as follows. Here the subscripts ζ, y, and z stand for […] The post Comparing three discrete power laws first appeared on John D. Cook....
