Generalizing Benford's law using power laws: application to integer sequences
Werner Hurlimann
Abstract
A simple method to derive parametric analytical extensions of Benford's law for first digits of numerical data is proposed. Two generalized Benford distributions are considered, namely the two-sided power Benford distribution and the new Pareto Benford distribution. The fitting capabilities of these generalized Benford distributions are illustrated and compared at some interesting and important integer sequences.
