power law

My population (12000 data) is characterized by events that are either of type A or of type B. My goal is to figure out whether the relative proportion of A with respect to B does change if a property of the events (the size in my case) change. My first approach was quite simple: dividing the...

I am trying to carry out multiple regression of a dependent variable (DV)with 2 independent variables (IV1 & IV2) that exhibit power law relationship with the DV. i.e. DV = a*IV1^b and also DV = c*IV2^d where a,b,c,d are the coefficients of the power law relationships When I plot...

I'm quite a newb at statistics, with only one college-level statistics course behind me. I apologize in advance if my terminology and/or understanding are in error. My fundamental question is how do I determine whether a given dataset is better fit by a linear model or a power law model? This...

Hi guys, I'm a geologist and I'm looking for a good manual to learn about with power law distribution and maximum likehood (beginner-medium level). My goal is to write a code to define the best straight line between an upper and lower bound in log-normal (fractal dimension) Thank you...
