zipf 1.0.19

A package to create and work with zipf distributions

The zipf package was realized to simplify creations and operations with zipf distributions, like:

• Sum/subtract two zipfs.

• Multiply/divide a zipfs by a zipf or a number.

• Slice a zipf.

• KL divergence (entropy) of two zipfs.

• JS divergence of two zipfs.

• Statistical operations such as:

  • mean

  • variance

  • median

Currently exists factories to create a zipf from:

• A list.

• A text.

• A text file.

• An url to a webpage.

• A directory containing one or more directories containing text files.

It is also possible to calculate in batch operations like the Jensen–Shannon divergence (JSD).
