Toolbox for testing if a probability distribution fits a power law

Project description

powerlaw is a toolbox using the statistical methods developed in Clauset et al. 2007 and Klaus et al. 2011 to determine if a probability distribution fits a power law. This package is in “open beta”, which means everything pretty much works but it’s being tweaked and expanded on. Academics, please cite as:

Jeff Alstott. (2012). powerlaw Python package. (Version 3.1) Web address: pypi.python.org/pypi/powerlaw.
