poweRlaw-package: The poweRlaw package
Description
The poweRlaw package aims to make fitting power laws and other heavy-tailed distributions
straightforward. This package contains R functions for fitting, comparing and visualising heavy
tailed distributions. Overall, it provides a principaled approach to fitting power laws to data.Details
The code developed in this package has
been heavily influnenced from the python and R code found at:
http://tuvalu.santafe.edu/~aaronc/powerlaws/ .
In particular, the R code of Laurent Dubroca and Cosma Shalizi.References
