dc.description.abstract |
Power law distributions, a well-known model in the theory of real random
variables, characterize a wide variety of natural and man made phenomena.
The intensity of earthquakes, the word frequencies, the solar
ares and the
sizes of power outages are distributed according to a power law distribution.
Recently, given the usage of power laws in the scientific community, several
articles have been published criticizing the statistical methods used to estimate
the power law behaviour and establishing new techniques to their estimation
with proven reliability.
The main object of the present study is to go in deep understanding of
this kind of distribution and its analysis, and introduce the half-lives of the
radioactive isotopes as a new candidate in the nature following a power law
distribution, as well as a \canonical laboratory" to test statistical methods
appropriate for long-tailed distributions. |
