80--20 rule in economics (80\% of the wealth is owned
by 20\% of the people, which was true at the time in
Italy, and found to be similar in other countries). He
developed the Pareto distribution, in which a random
variable $X$ has the property that the probability that
it is greater than some number $x$ is given by $ {\rm
Pr}(X > x) = (x_m / x)^\alpha $ for $ x > x_m $, and $
{\rm Pr}(X > x) = 1 $ otherwise. The positive value $
x_m $ is a cutoff, and as $ \alpha \to \infty $, the
Pareto distribution approaches a Dirac delta function,
$ \delta (x - x_m) $. When this models the distribution
of wealth, the exponent $ \alpha $ is called the {\em
Pareto index}.",

abstract = "It has been observed that the first pages of a table
of common logarithms show more wear than do the last
pages, indicating that more used numbers begin with the
digit 1 than with the digit 9. A compilation of some
20,000 first digits taken from widely divergent sources
shows that there is a logarithmic distribution of first
digits when the numbers are composed of four or more
digits. An analysis of the numbers from different
sources shows that the numbers taken from unrelated
subjects, such as a group of newspaper items, show a
much better agreement with a logarithmic distribution
than do numbers from mathematical tabulations or other
formal data. There is here the peculiar fact that
numbers that individually are without relationship are,
when considered in large groups, in good agreement with
a distribution law---hence the name ``Anomalous
Numbers.''\par
A further analysis of the data shows a strong tendency
for bodies of numerical data to fall into geometric
series. If the series is made up of numbers containing
three or more digits the first digits form a
logarithmic series. If the numbers contain only single
digits the geometric relation still holds but the
simple logarithmic relation no longer applies.\par
An equation is given showing the frequencies of first
digits in the different orders of numbers 1 to 10, 10
to 100, etc.\par
The equation also gives the frequency of digits in the
second, third + place of a multi-digit number, and it
is shown that the same law applies to
reciprocals.\par
There are many instances showing that the geometric
series, or the logarithmic law, has long been
recognized as a common phenomenon in factual literature
and in the ordinary affairs of life. The wire gauge and
drill gauge of the mechanic, the magnitude scale of the
astronomer and the sensory response curves of the
psychologist are all particular examples of a
relationship that seems to extend to all human affairs.
The Law of Anomalous Numbers is thus a general
probability law of widespread application.",

Nature by Goudsmit and Furry [3] and Furry and Hurwitz

considered it at that time merely a welcome diversion

tables of logarithms are invariably dirtier at the
front than at the back. Upon reflection one is led to
inquire whether there are more physical constants with
low order first significant digits than high. Actual
counts by Benford [2] show that not only is this the
case but that it seems to be an empirical truth that
whenever one has a large body of physical data,
Farmer's Almanac, Census Reports, Chemical Rubber
Handbook, etc., the proportion of these data with first
significant digit $n$ or less is approximately $
\log_{10}(n + 1) $. Any reader formerly unaware of this
``peculiarity'' will find an actual sampling experiment
wondrously tantalizing. Thus, for example,
approximately $ 0.7 $ of the physical constants in the
Chemical Rubber Handbook begin with $4$ or less ($
\log_{10}(4 + 1) = 0.699 $ ). This is to be contrasted
with the widespread intuitive evaluation $ 4 / 9 $
ths.",

\ldots{} ``The only distribution for first significant
digits which is invariant under scale change of the
underlying distribution is $ \log_{10}(n + 1) $.
Contrary to suspicion this is a non-trivial
mathematical result, for the variable $n$ is
discrete.''.\par
From p. 1230: ``The foregoing results bear on questions
of round-off in computing machines. Since $ d(u v) = u
d v + v d u $, the error resulting from multiplying two
rounded numbers will be governed primarily by the first
significant digits of the two numbers being multiplied.
Now the distribution of first significant digits,
favoring as it does low order digits, tends to produce
less error than would be the case if first significant
digits were uniform as has sometimes been
assumed.''\par

However, they report that a more likely distribution is
logarithmic (as predicted by Benford's Law, although
the Newcomb / Benford work is neither mentioned nor
cited), in which case there is no advantage for either
choice of placement of the binary point. They conclude
that it would be humane to place it after the leading

abstract = "When percentages are computed for counts in several
categories or for several positive measurements0 each
taken as a fraction of their sum, the rounded
percentages often fail to add to 100 percent. We
investigate how frequently this failure occurs and what
the distributions of sums of rounded percentages are
for (1) an empirical set of data, (2) the multinomial
distribution in small samples, (3) spacings between
points dropped on an interval --- the broken-stick
model; and (4) for simulation for several categories.
The several methods produce similar distributions.We
find that the probability that the sum of rounded
percentages adds to exactly 100 percent is certain for
two categories, about three-fourths for three
categories, about two-thirds for four categories, and
about [Formula: see text] for larger numbers of
categories, c, on the average when categories are not
improbable.",

is not merely an amusing curiosity. A brief examination

This indicated to Benford that people had more occasion
to calculate with numbers beginning with 1 or 2 than
with 8 or 9.\par
Benford also found that the frequency of the digit $p$
being the first digit of a decimal number was very
closely approximated by $ \log (p + 1) - \log p $
[i.e., $ \log (1 + 1 / p) $ ]. This has become known as
Benford's law.",

remark = "From p. 116: ``There is general agreement that the
mantissas of floating-point numbers are not uniformly
distributed. [See Hamming (1962)
[\cite{Hamming:1962:NMS}], Pinkham (1961)
[Pinkham:1961:DFS], or Knuth (1969) [Knuth:1969:SNM].]
Instead, it is customary to assume that they are
distributed logarithmically, that is, that the
probability density function is
$$ (3.12.9) f(m) = \frac {1}{m \ln r}, \qquad r^{-1}
\leq m \leq 1. $$
This assumption is based on the following observations:
First, this distribution reproduces itself under
multiplication, but a uniform distribution does not.
[See Hamming (1962) [\cite{Hamming:1962:NMS}] and
Exercise 20.] A second justification is based on the
fact that many of the numbers that arise in computation
represent measurable quantities such as lengths,
forces, etc., and it is reasonable to believe that the
distribution of the mantissas of such quantities is
independent of the units in which they are measured.
Pinkham (1961) shows that this leads to the conclusion
that the distribution of mantissas must be
logarithmic.''",

abstract = "A self-organising database was developed as part of a
general language analysis system. The periodic,
automatic reorganisation of the database was aimed at
increasing the efficiency of analysis of a language in
which the constituent features exhibit a Zipfian type
rank-frequency relationship. Such a distribution means
that only a small number of features account for a
large proportion of the information, while a large
number of possible features are seldom encountered and
thus seldom accessed within the database. The mechanism
described aims at reconciling two conflicting
procedures: condensation by generalisation of language
features to minimise the total size of the database,
and the particularisation of the few commonly occurring
features to minimise the average analysis time. Results
are presented for the application of this mechanism to
the analysis of batches of FORTRAN programs that
constituted part of the `normal' workload for computers
within five different environments.",

reports defects in several earlier mathematical
`explanations' of Benford's Law, and gives a 52-entry
bibliography of prior work. All of those entries are
incorporated in this bibliography. It criticizes parts
of \cite{Goudsmit:1944:SFN} as `dead wrong' (and the
author reiterates that view in \cite{Raimi:1985:FDP}).
See also later work \cite{Logan:1978:FDP}. On page 529,
Raimi writes ``If the first digits of all the tables in
the universe obey some fixed distribution law,
Stigler's or Benford's or some other, that law must
surely be independent of the system of units chosen,
since God is not known to favor either the metric
system or the English system. In other words, a
universal first digit law, if it exists, must be
scale-invariant.''",
remark-2 = "This is so far the second earliest reference that I
have found to \cite{Newcomb:1881:NFU}; the earliest is
\cite{Boring:1920:LNL}, which has only brief mention of
the question of digit frequencies. Raimi comments on p.
522: ``This assertion, whatever it may mean, will be
called Benford's Law because it has been thought by
many writers to have originated with the General
Electric Company physicist Frank Benford [2]. Certainly
Benford popularized the problem, and he may well have
been unaware that the polymathic Simon Newcomb,
primarily an astronomer but also sometime editor of The
American Journal of Mathematics, had also formulated
the same law 57 years earlier [1]. There is ample
precedent for naming laws and theorems for persons
other than their discoverers, else half of analysis
would be named after Euler. Besides, even Newcomb
implied that the observation giving rise to the Benford
law was an old one in his day. One would hate to change
the name of the law now only to find later that another
change was called for.''",

Proceedings, which has since then attracted much
attention of mathematicians and some physicists. It was
written by Frank Benford, a physicist from the General
Electric Company at Schenectady. He had examined a
large number of numerical tables, the kind that are
printed in almanacs, and in scientific and technical
handbooks. He noticed a most unusual and unexpected
property of many of these tables. Consider, for
example, the numbers representing the populations of
states or all the countries in the world, or their
areas, their budgets, their numbers of hospital beds,
etc. One would expect that on the average just as many
of these entries would begin with the digit $1$ as with
$2$ or $3$ or $4$, and so on. But Benford noticed that
small values of the first digits occur far more
often.",

may differ from 100\%. The authors use a prior proof
\cite{Mosteller:1967:DSR} that for $ n \gg 2 $ rounded
values, the probability of a correct sum is $ \sqrt {6

rounding may produce large changes in computed
chi-squared values, and they conclude their article
with this recommendation: ``it is important to
calculate with many-digit accuracy when computing $
\chi^2 $ for large sample sizes.''",

calling on techniques for managing complexity which
have emerged in other fields. Hierarchical structures

recognized as the single most important characteristic
of program behaviour, relatively little work has been

to the development of an intrinsic measure of program
locality based on the Bradford--Zipf distribution.
Potential applications for such a measure are many, and
include the evaluation of program restructuring methods
(manual and automatic), the prediction of system
performance, the validation of program behaviour
models, and the enhanced understanding of the phenomena
that characterize program behaviour. A consideration of
each of these areas is given in connection with the
proposed measure, both to increase confidence in the
validity of the measure and to illustrate a methodology
for dealing with such problems.",

requirements of the database. In addition, given a few
additional system parameters, access time for a
specified query can be estimated. The estimation
procedures are accomplished using logarithmic
transformations and multiple regression techniques.
This paper introduces the Zipfian models, their
regression formulation, and their results and
interpretation for application to database
evaluation.",

curves. Indeed, it has been pointed out by Diaconis and
Freedman [D-F] [\cite{Diaconis:1979:RP}] that a
statistical analysis of Benford's announced data gives
a high probability to the conjecture that he did a bit
of rounding-off here and there, always in the direction
of his law. The license that a physicist often takes on
the path from his hypotheses to verified, observable,
and repeatable conclusion is not justified here.''.",

of the logarithmic distribution of numbers,
floating-point addition and subtraction can result in
overflow or underflow with alarming frequency --- a
frequency that increases rapidly with machine speed
unless the range of the exponent is also increased. If
numbers are assumed to be distributed in accordance
with Sweeney's (1965) experiments, then severe loss of
significance occurs with large probability in floating
point subtraction. These results have implications for
computer design and lead to the suggestion of a long

capabilities with numeric report generation. Of great
concern to the user of such a system is the response
time associated with issuing a query to the database.
This study presents a procedure for estimating response
time for one of the most frequently encountered
physical storage mechanisms, the indexed file. The
model provides a fairly high degree of accuracy, but is
simple enough so that the cost of applying the model is
not exorbitant. The model incorporates the knowledge
that the distribution of access key occurrences is
known to follow Zipf's law. It first estimates the
access time required to complete the query, which
includes the time needed for all input and output
transactions, and CPU time used in performing the
search. The effects of multiple users on an
individual's response time are then assessed using a
simple regression estimation technique. The two-step
procedure allows for the separation of access time from
multiuser influences.",

performance evaluation of the Dynamic Hybrid GRACE Hash
Join Method (DHGH Method) when the tuple distribution
in buckets is unbalanced. The conventional Hash Join
Methods specify the tuple distribution in buckets
statically. However it may differ from estimation since
join operations are applied with selection operations.
When the tuple distribution in buckets is unbalanced,
the processing cost of join operation becomes more
costly than the ideal case when you use Hybrid Hash
Join Method (HH Method). On the other hand, when you
use the DHGH Method, the destaging buckets are selected
dynamically, gives the same performance as the ideal
case even if the tuple distribution in buckets is
unbalanced such as Zipf-like distributions.",

abstract = "We examine the frequency of numerals and ordinals in
seven different languages and/or cultures. Many
cross-cultural and cross-linguistic patterns are
identified. The most striking is a decrease of
frequency with numerical magnitude, with local
increases for reference numerals such as 10, 12, 15,
20, 50 or 100. Four explanations are considered for
this effect: sampling artifacts, notational
regularities, environmental biases and psychological
limitations on number representations. The
psychological explanation, which appeals to a
Fechnerian encoding of numerical magnitudes and to the
existence of numerical points of reference, accounts
for most of the data. Our finding also has practical
importance since it reveals the frequent confound of
two experimental variables: numerical magnitude and
numeral frequency.",

of many different types of complex systems. Zipf's law
is one of the most remarkable frequency-rank
relationships and has been observed independently in
physics, linguistics, biology, demography, etc. We show
that ranking plays a crucial role in making it possible
to detect empirical relationships in systems that exist
in one realization only, even when the statistical
ensemble to which the systems belong has a very broad
probability distribution. Analytical results and
numerical simulations are presented which clarify the
relations between the probability distributions and the
behavior of expected values for unranked and ranked
random variables. This analysis is performed, in
particular, for the evolutionary model presented in our
previous papers which leads to Zipf's law and reveals
the underlying mechanism of this phenomenon in terms of
a system with interdependent and interacting components
as opposed to the ``ideal gas'' models suggested by
previous researchers. The ranking procedure applied to
this model leads to a new, unexpected phenomenon: a
characteristic ``staircase'' behavior of the mean
values of the ranked variables (ranked occupation
numbers). This result is due to the broadness of the
probability distributions for the occupation numbers
and does not follow from the ``ideal gas'' model. Thus,
it provides an opportunity, by comparison with
empirical data, to obtain evidence as to which model
relates to reality.",

Benford's Law, we show that the uniform distribution is
not the right benchmark against which to test. As an
alternative we propose a test based on the cyclical

to the Dow Jones 30 Industrial Average, the Financial

the value of the first digit. One could guess that a
fair bet should correspond to the frequency of $ 1 / 9
= 11.11 \% $ for each digit from 1 to 9. This is by no
means the case, and one can easily observe a strong
prevalence of the small values over the large ones. The
first three integers 1, 2 and 3 alone have globally a
frequency of 60\% while the other six values 4, 5, 6,
7, 8 and 9 appear only in 40\% of the cases. This
situation is actually much more general than the stock
market and it occurs in a variety of number catalogs
related to natural phenomena. The first observation of
this property traces back to S. Newcomb in 1881 but a
more precise account was given by F. Benford in 1938.
In this note we illustrate these observations with the
enlightening specific example of the stock market. We
also identify the general mechanism for the origin of
this uneven distribution in the multiplicative nature
of fluctuations in economics and in many natural
phenomena. This provides a natural explanation for the
ubiquitous presence of the Benford's law in many
different phenomena with the common element that their
fluctuations refer to a fraction of their values. This
brings us close to the problem of the spontaneous
origin of scale invariant properties in various
phenomena which is a debated question at the frontier
of different fields.",

abstract = "It has been observed that the rank statistics of
string frequencies of many symbolic systems (e.g., word
frequencies of natural languages) follows Zipf's law in
good approximation. We show that, contrary to claims in
the literature, Zipf's law cannot be realized by the
central limit theorem(s). The observation that a
log-normal distribution of string frequencies yields an
approximately Zipf-like rank statistics is actually
misleading. Indeed, Zipf's law for the rank statistics
is strictly equivalent to a power law distribution of
frequencies. There are two natural ways to perform the
infinite size limit for the vocabulary. The first one
is the method of choice in the literature; it makes the
upper word length bound tend to infinity and leads in
the case of a multistate Bernoulli process via a
central limit theorem to a log-normal frequency
distribution. An alternative and for text samples
actually better realizable way is to make the lower
frequency bound tend to zero. This limit procedure
leads to a power law distribution and hence to Zipf's
law --- at least for Bernoulli processes and to a very
good approximation for natural languages where it
passes the $ \chi^2 $ test. For the Bernoulli case we
will give a heuristic proof.",

would one say that a list of numbers seems odd. For
this to occur, the numbers are typically highly rounded
or implausible (too much of a coincidence). However
digit pattern analysis, using a computer, can produce
valuable findings not revealed at a mere glance. The
most widely cited paper on digit frequencies was
published by Frank Benford in 1938. With powerful,
low-cost personal computers, Benford's law can help us
to efficiently test the integrity of data. The first
step is to assess whether Benford's law should apply to
the data. If the data is expected to conform, then
Benford's law becomes the expected distribution.
Conformity means that the actual distribution closely
approximates the expected distribution",

Digital Analysis, which can be used as an analytical

(DA) is the analysis of digit and number patterns of a
data set. Actual digit frequencies in a data set are
compared to the expected frequencies according to
Benford's Law [Benford, F. (1938). The law of the
anomalous numbers, Proceedings of the American
Philosophical Society, 78, 551 572.]. Minor differences
suggest that the data have passed a reasonableness
test, while major differences signal possible financial
statement mis-statements. After describing Benford's
Law and the basic {DA} tests, the case requires
auditing students to download {DA} software and the
actual accounts payable file of a software company from
a designated Internet site. Students then, (1) analyse
the data using three {DA} tests as an analytical
procedure in an external audit context, and (2) graph
and a report the results and audit-related conclusions.
The teaching note includes the actual findings from the
audit of that data set and guidance on using the case
in an auditing course.",

Internet today. We analyze the dynamics of content
creation and modification as well as client accesses.
Our key findings are (a) files tend to change little
upon modification, (b) a small set of files get
modified repeatedly, (c) file popularity follows a
Zipf-like distribution with an $ \alpha $ much larger
than reported in previous, proxy-based studies, and (d)
there is significant temporal stability in file
popularity but not much stability in the domains from
which popular content is accessed. We discuss
implications of these findings.",

automata fulfill the expectation that the frequency of
the first digit is uniform. The molecular dynamics of
fluids, on the other hand, provides trajectories that
follow Benford's law. Finally, three chaotic systems
are considered: Lorenz, H{\'e}non, and R{\"o}ssler. The
Lorenz system generates trajectories that follow
Benford's law. The H{\'e}non system generates
trajectories that resemble neither the uniform
distribution nor Benford's law. Finally, the
R{\"o}ssler system generates trajectories that follow
the uniform distribution for some parameters choices,

digit in numbers met in a wide range of naturally
occurring phenomena. In data following Benford's Law,
numbers start with a small leading digit more often
those with a large leading digit. Here we demonstrate
that Benford's Law also describes a wide range of
computational phenomena. In particular, we show that a
number of different statistics associated with
computation like space and runtime often follow
Benford's Law. We also show that search cost on input
data that follows Benford's Law is often very different
to that on more uniform data. These results could be
used to improve algorithm performance (for example, for
load balancing or disk de-fragmentation), as well as to
help model algorithm performance. Benford's Law can
also be used to generate data for benchmarking
algorithms that may be more realistic than purely
random data.",

the frequency of numbers in text. An analysis of number
frequencies in text corpora in Dutch, English, German,
and French confirms the expectation that frequency is
highly dependent on two factors: magnitude and
roundness. Roundness (defined as number frequency in an
approximation context) proves to be related to three
arithmetical properties: `10-ness', `2-ness', and
`5-ness'. In predicting the frequency of numbers
irrespective of their context `$ 2 1 / 2 $-ness' should
be added to these factors, as is suggested in the work
of Sigurd (1988). The role of the four number
characteristics found in this study can be explained by
the preference of the language user for using base
numbers, and for doubling and halving quantities.",

abstract = "One of the main activities of Web users, known as
`surfing', is to follow links. Lengthy navigation often
leads to disorientation when users lose track of the
context in which they are navigating and are unsure how
to proceed in terms of the goal of their original
query. Studying navigation patterns of Web users is
thus important, since it can lead us to a better
understanding of the problems users face when they are
surfing. We derive Zipf's rank frequency law (i.e., an
inverse power law) from an absorbing Markov chain model
of surfers' behavior assuming that less probable
navigation trails are, on average, longer than more
probable ones. In our model the probability of a trail
is interpreted as the relevance (or `value') of the
trail. We apply our model to two scenarios: in the
first the probability of a user terminating the
navigation session is independent of the number of
links he has followed so far, and in the second the
probability of a user terminating the navigation
session increases by a constant each time the user
follows a link. We analyze these scenarios using two
sets of experimental data sets showing that, although
the first scenario is only a rough approximation of
surfers' behavior, the data is consistent with the
second scenario and can thus provide an explanation of
surfers' behavior.",

Hypothesis,'' a 19th century observation made by Simon
Newcomb that the beginning pages of logarithm books
were grubbier than the last few pages, implying that
scientists referenced the values toward the front of
the books more frequently. If a data set satisfies
Benford's law, then its significant digits will have a
logarithmic distribution, which favors smaller
significant digits. In this article we demonstrate two
ways of creating discrete one-dimensional dynamical
systems that satisfy Benford's law. We also develop a
numerical simulation methodology that we use to study
dynamical systems when analytical results are not
readily available.",

observed more frequently at some numbers than others.
It increases with haziness, or imprecision, about
underlying value. Most research on price clustering has
been conducted in Western financial markets, where
there is manifest preference for trading at round
numbers. We focus on number preferences under Chinese
culture. Many Chinese believe some numbers are unlucky
and to be avoided. For instance, the number 4 is
inauspicious because the Cantonese pronunciation of 4
is similar to the phrase to die. We first document
clustering of daily closing prices on six Asia Pacific
stock markets, three with predominantly Chinese
populations. Next, we fit binomial logit models within
these markets to estimate the association between
structural and economic factors, and culture, on price
clustering. We find some support for the influence of
Chinese culture and superstition on year-round number
preferences of traders, but it is located solely in the
Hong Kong market. Furthermore, in the Hong Kong market
Chinese culture and superstition help explain the
increased avoidance of the number 4 during the
auspicious Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn
festivals.",

numbers defined by $ N(j + 1) = \zeta (j) N(j) + \eta
(j) $, where \{\zeta(j)\} and \{\eta(j)\} are sequences
of positive real numbers (in the multiplicative case $
\eta (j) = 0 $ for all $j$). We investigate the
conditions under which the leading digits $k$ of
\{N(j)\} have the following probability distribution,
known as Benford's Law, $ P(k) = \log_{10}((k + 1) /
k)$. We present two main results. First, we show that
contrary to the usual assumption in the literature,
\{\zeta(j)\} does not necessarily need to come from a
chaotic or independent random process for Benford's Law
to hold. The multiplicative driving force may be a
deterministic quasiperiodic or even periodic forcing.
Second, we give conditions under which the distribution
of the first digits of an affine process displays
Benford's Law. Our proofs use techniques from ergodic
theory.",

abstract = "Motivation: Typical analysis of microarray data has
focused on spot by spot comparisons within a single
organism. Less analysis has been done on the comparison
of the entire distribution of spot intensities between
experiments and between organisms.Results: Here we show
that mRNA transcription data from a wide range of
organisms and measured with a range of experimental
platforms show close agreement with Benford's law
(Benford, Proc. Am. Phil. Soc., 78, 551 572, 1938) and
Zipf's law (Zipf, The Psycho-biology of Language: an
Introduction to Dynamic Philology, 1936 and Human
Behaviour and the Principle of Least Effort, 1949). The
distribution of the bulk of microarray spot intensities
is well approximated by a log-normal with the tail of
the distribution being closer to power law. The
variance, 2, of log spot intensity shows a positive
correlation with genome size (in terms of number of
genes) and is therefore relatively fixed within some
range for a given organism. The measured value of 2 can
be significantly smaller than the expected value if the
mRNA is extracted from a sample of mixed cell types.
Our research demonstrates that useful biological
findings may result from analyzing microarray data at
the level of entire intensity distributions. Contact:

abstract = "Real-life systems are complex, with many independent
parameters which can affect the system. Their behaviour
can therefore be very variable. This is especially true
of the more involved processes which occur in
reliability and degradation processes. However, there
are some characteristics which are observed which can
be understood simply because they are characteristic of
complex systems. These include distributions that are
very often logarithmic rather than uniform, log normal
failure distributions and $ 1 g / f $ noise. A wide
variety of diverse examples is given to illustrate the
common occurrence of such observations together with
the underlying unifying themes. There are several basic
reasons for the origin of logarithmic distributions.
One is that they arise from multiplicative processes.
Another is that although basic science is often
introduced as linear, with non-linear effects added as
a correction, complex systems are often inherently
non-linear. This produces multiplicative effects, such
as harmonic generation and fractal behaviour.",

is considered to be a random walk in the logarithmic
scale reflecting the company asset distribution and/or
the evolution of city populations (e.g. Zipf's law for
income distribution asserts that the size and number of
companies are in inverse proportional relationship).
The paper explains theoretically and shows by numerical
simulation that the introduced model of Zipf's law has
a very robust behaviour when applied to various natural
and social phenomena. The authors do not investigate
the famous case of Zipf's law application to the
frequency of English words, but they speculate that
this case might be also explained within the same time
development of the proposed model.",

theologians have pondered the mysterious relationship
between numbers and the nature of reality. In this
fascinating book, the author tells the tale of a number
at the heart of that mystery: phi, or
1.6180339887\ldots{}. This curious mathematical
relationship, widely known as ``The Golden Ratio,'' was
discovered by Euclid more than two thousand years ago
because of its crucial role in the construction of the
pentagram, to which magical properties had been
attributed. Since then it has shown a propensity to
appear in the most astonishing variety of places, from
mollusk shells, sunflower florets, and rose petals to
the shape of the galaxy. Psychological studies have
investigated whether the Golden Ratio is the most
aesthetically pleasing proportion extant, and it has
been asserted that the creators of the Pyramids and the
Parthenon employed it. It is believed to feature in
works of art from Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa to
Salvador Dali's The Sacrament of the Last Supper, and
poets and composers have used it in their works. It has
even been found to be connected to the behavior of the
stock market! This book is a captivating journey
through art and architecture, botany and biology,
physics and mathematics. It tells the human story of
numerous phi-fixated individuals, including the
followers of Pythagoras who believed that this
proportion revealed the hand of God; astronomer
Johannes Kepler, who saw phi as the greatest treasure
of geometry; such Renaissance thinkers as mathematician
Leonardo Fibonacci of Pisa; and such masters of the
modern world as Goethe, Cezanne, Bartok, and physicist
Roger Penrose. Wherever his quest for the meaning of
phi takes him, the author reveals the world as a place
where order, beauty, and eternal mystery will always
coexist.",

abstract = "Previous studies (Carslaw, 1988; Thomas, 1989;
Niskanen \& Keloharju, 2000) have shown that companies'
managers tend to round-up the first digits of reported
earnings (i.e. for companies reporting profits).
According to Carslaw (1988), this type of behaviour is
inspired by the existence of the so-called `\$1.99'
phenomenon where a price of \$1.99 is perceived as
being abnormally lower than one of \$2.00. In the
current study, we try to determine whether managers of
UK-listed companies also engage in this type of
`earnings rounding-up behaviour'. Analogous to the
earlier studies, our study compares observed and
expected frequencies for the second-from-the-left digit
in reported earnings. Our results suggest that managers
of UK-listed companies tend to round-up reported
pre-tax income, in a way that increases the first digit
by one, when they are faced with a nine in the
second-from-the-left position for this particular
earnings measure. The major contribution of the current
study is that it introduces discretionary accruals in
this line of research. Discretionary accruals were
estimated using both the Jones model (1991) and the
modified Jones model as proposed by Dechow et al.
(1995). Our results clearly suggest that discretionary
accruals are used in order to round-up reported
earnings figures. Moreover, discretionary accruals
enabled us to increase the power of the tests used in
previous studies.",

abstract = "Among the myriad of constants that appear in
mathematics, $ \pi $, $e$, and $i$ are the most
familiar. Following closely behind is $ \gamma $ or
gamma, a constant that arises in many mathematical
areas yet maintains a profound sense of mystery. In a
tantalizing blend of history and mathematics, Julian
Havil takes the reader on a journey through logarithms
and the harmonic series, the two defining elements of
gamma, toward the first account of gamma's place in
mathematics. Introduced by the Swiss mathematician
Leonhard Euler (1707--1783), who figures prominently in
this book, gamma is defined as the limit of the sum of
$ 1 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 3 + \cdots + 1 / n - \ln n$, the
numerical value being $ 0.5772156 \ldots {}$. But
unlike its more celebrated colleagues $ \pi $ and $e$,
the exact nature of gamma remains a mystery --- we
don't even know if it can be expressed as a fraction.
Among the numerous topics that arise during this
historical odyssey into fundamental mathematical ideas
are the Prime Number Theorem and the most important
open problem in mathematics today, the Riemann
Hypothesis (though no proof of either is offered!).
Sure to be popular with not only students and
instructors but all math aficionados, Gamma takes us
through countries, centuries, lives, and works,
unfolding along the way the stories of some remarkable
mathematics from some remarkable mathematicians.",

theories constitute algorithmic compressions of
empirical data sets collected from observations and
measurements. This article defends the thesis that, to
the contrary, empirical data sets are algorithmically
incompressible. The reason is that individual data
points are determined partly by perturbations, or
causal factors that cannot be reduced to any pattern.
If empirical data sets are incompressible, then they
exhibit maximal algorithmic complexity, maximal entropy
and zero redundancy. They are therefore maximally
efficient carriers of information about the world.
Since, on algorithmic information theory, a string is
algorithmically random just if it is incompressible,
the thesis entails that empirical data sets consist of
algorithmically random strings of digits. Rather than
constituting compressions of empirical data, scientific
laws and theories pick out patterns that data sets
exhibit with a certain noise.",

abstract = "In an automatic sequence an element need not have an
asymptotic density. In this paper a necessary and
sufficient criterion is proved for the existence of the
asymptotic density of a given element. If it does not
exist the asymptotic distribution of the element can be
described in terms of a function H whose graph is
self-similar. An algorithm is given to decide whether H
is piecewise continuously differentiable, and in this
case it can be computed effectively. Finally, it is
shown that the H -density of an element in an automatic
sequence always exists and equals its logarithmic
density.",

social processes are often distributed in a manner
described by ``Benford's law''. Recently, a test
against this distribution was used to identify
fraudulent accounting data. This test is based on the
supposition that real data follow the Benford
distribution while fabricated data do not. Is it
possible to apply Benford tests to detect fabricated or
falsified scientific data as well as fraudulent
financial data? We approached this question in two
ways. First, we examined the use of the Benford
distribution as a standard by checking digit
frequencies in published statistical estimates. Second,
we conducted experiments in which subjects were asked
to fabricate statistical estimates (regression
coefficients). These experimental data were scrutinized
for possible deviations from the Benford distribution.
There were two main findings. First, the digits of the
published regression coefficients were approximately
Benford distributed. Second, the experimental results
yielded new insights into the strengths and weaknesses
of Benford tests. At least in the case of regression
coefficients, there were indications that checks for
digit-preference anomalies should focus less on the
first and more on the second and higher-digits",

applications of Benford's Law are summarized and

characterize the popularity pmf of the stream of misses
from the cache, the so-called output of the cache, for
a large class of demand-driven cache replacement
policies. We measure strength of locality of reference
in a stream of requests through the skewness of its
popularity distribution. Using the notion of
majorization to capture this degree of skewness, we
show that for the policy $ A_0 $ and the random policy,
the output always has less locality of reference than
the input. However, we show by counterexamples that
this is not always the case under the LRU and CLIMB
policies when the input is selected according to a
Zipf-like pmf. In that case, conjectures are offered
(and supported by simulations) as to when LRU or CLIMB
caching indeed reduces locality of reference.",

is an evolving problem. Growing and changing needs
necessitate the use of larger filters with more complex
rules. The increased complexity and size pose
implementation challenges on current hardware solutions
and drive the development of software classifiers, in
particular, decision-tree based classifiers. Important
performance measures for these classifiers are time and
memory due to required high throughput and use of
limited fast memory. We analyze Tier 1 ISP data that
includes filters and corresponding traffic from over a
hundred edge routers and thousands of interfaces. We
provide a comprehensive view on packet classification
in an operational network and glean insights that help
us design more effective classification algorithms. We
propose and evaluate decision tree classifiers with
{\em common branches}. These classifiers have linear
worst-case memory bounds and require much less memory
than standard decision tree classifiers, but
nonetheless, we show that on our data have similar
average and worst-case time performance. We argue that
common-branches exploit structure that is present in
real-life data sets. We observe a strong Zipf-like
pattern in the usage of rules in a classifier, where a
very small number of rules resolves the bulk of traffic
and most rules are essentially never used. Inspired by
this observation, we propose {\em traffic-aware\/}
classifiers that obtain superior average-case and
bounded worst-case performance. Good average-case can
boost performance of software classifiers that can be
used in small to medium sized routers and are also
important for traffic analysis and traffic
engineering.",

The euro introduction in 2002, with its various

We studied consumer prices before and after the
introduction of the euro by using Benford's Law as a
benchmark for price adjustments. Results indicate the
usefulness of this benchmark for detecting
irregularities in prices, and a clear trend towards
psychological pricing after the nominal shock of the
euro introduction. In addition, the tendency towards
psychological prices results in different inflation

Necessary and sufficient conditions are established, in

random variable to be digit-regular
(significant-digit-regular), and basic relationships
between digit-regularity and various classical classes
of probability measures and normal numbers are given.
These results provide a theoretical basis for analyses
of roundoff errors in numerical algorithms which use
floating-point arithmetic, and for detection of fraud
in numerical data via using goodness-of-fit of the
least significant digits to uniform, complementing
recent tests for leading significant digits based on

published research findings are false. The probability
that a research claim is true may depend on study power
and bias, the number of other studies on the same
question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no
relationships among the relationships probed in each
scientific field. In this framework, a research finding
is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in
a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller;
when there is a greater number and lesser preselection
of tested relationships; where there is greater
flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and
analytical modes; when there is greater financial and
other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are
involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical
significance. Simulations show that for most study
designs and settings, it is more likely for a research
claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current
scientific fields, claimed research findings may often
be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. In
this essay, I discuss the implications of these

of some quantity varies inversely as a power of that
value, the quantity is said to follow a power law, also
known variously as Zipf's law or the Pareto
distribution. Power laws appear widely in physics,
biology, earth and planetary sciences, economics and
finance, computer science, demography and the social
sciences. For instance, the distributions of the sizes
of cities, earthquakes, forest fires, solar flares,
moon craters and people's personal fortunes all appear
to follow power laws. The origin of power-law behaviour
has been a topic of debate in the scientific community
for more than a century. Here we review some of the
empirical evidence for the existence of power-law forms
and the theories proposed to explain them.",

abstract = "A fascinating journey into the mind-bending world of
prime numbers Cicadas of the genus Magicicada appear
once every 7, 13, or 17 years. Is it just a coincidence
that these are all prime numbers? How do twin primes
differ from cousin primes, and what on earth (or in the
mind of a mathematician) could be sexy about prime
numbers? What did Albert Wilansky find so fascinating
about his brother-in-law's phone number? Mathematicians
have been asking questions about prime numbers for more
than twenty-five centuries, and every answer seems to
generate a new rash of questions. In Prime Numbers: The
Most Mysterious Figures in Math, you'll meet the
world's most gifted mathematicians, from Pythagoras and
Euclid to Fermat, Gauss, and Erd{\H{o}}s, and you'll
discover a host of unique insights and inventive
conjectures that have both enlarged our understanding
and deepened the mystique of prime numbers. This
comprehensive, A-to-Z guide covers everything you ever
wanted to know-and much more that you never
suspected-about prime numbers, including: the unproven
Riemann hypothesis and the power of the zeta function,
the ``Primes is in P'' algorithm, the sieve of
Eratosthenes of Cyrene, Fermat and Fibonacci numbers,
the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, and much,
much more.",

that the value of a communications network is
proportional to the square of the number of its users,
is incorrect. By seeming to assure that the value of a
network would increase quadratically - proportionately
to the square of the number of its participants - while
costs would, at most, grow linearly, Metcalfe's law
gave an air of credibility to the mad rush for growth
and the neglect of profitability. The paper discusses
the fundamental flaw of Metcalfe's law and describes
how Zipf's law can be used as basis to justify the $ n
\log (n) $ rule-of-thumb valuation of a general
communications network of size $n$.",

abstract = "The distribution of numbers in human documents is
determined by a variety of diverse natural and human
factors, whose relative significance can be evaluated
by studying the numbers frequency of occurrence.
Although it has been studied since the 1880's, this
subject remains poorly understood. Here, we obtain the
detailed statistics of numbers in the World Wide Web,
finding that their distribution is a heavy-tailed
dependence which splits in a set of power-law ones. In
particular, we find that the frequency of numbers
associated to western calendar years shows an uneven
behavior: 2004 represents a singular critical point,
appearing with a strikingly high frequency; as we move
away from it, the decreasing frequency allows us to
compare the amounts of existing information on the past
and on the future. Moreover, while powers of ten occur
extremely often, allowing us to obtain statistics up to
the huge 10 127, non-round numbers occur in a much more
limited range, the variations of their frequencies
being dramatically different from standard statistical
fluctuations. These findings provide a view of the
array of numbers used by humans as a highly
non-equilibrium and inhomogeneous system, and shed a
new light on an issue that, once fully investigated,
could lead to a better understanding of many
sociological and psychological phenomena.",

workload gathered by crawling the eDonkey network --- a
dominant peer-to-peer file sharing system --- for over
50 days. We first confirm the presence of some known
features, in particular the prevalence of free-riding
and the Zipf-like distribution of file popularity. We
also analyze the evolution of document popularity. We
then provide an in-depth analysis of several clustering
properties of such workloads. We measure the
geographical clustering of peers offering a given file.
We find that most files are offered mostly by peers of
a single country, although popular files don't have
such a clear home country. We then analyze the overlap
between contents offered by different peers. We find
that peer contents are highly clustered according to
several metrics of interest. We propose to leverage
this property by allowing peers to search for content
without server support, by querying suitably identified
semantic neighbours. We find via trace-driven
simulations that this approach is generally effective,
and is even more effective for rare files. If we
further allow peers to query both their semantic
neighbours, and in turn their neighbours' neighbours,
we attain hit rates as high as over 55\% for neighbour
lists of size 20.",

that leading digits of random numbers derived from a
chain of distributions that are linked via parameter
selection are logarithmic in the limit as the number of
sequences approaches infinity, and that empirically
only around 5 or 6 sequences of such a distribution
chain are needed to obtain results that are close
enough to the logarithmic (i.e., rapid convergence).
(iii) An outright exact logarithmic behavior for a
2-sequence chain whenever parametrical density is
exactly logarithmic. (iv) An account on the existence
of singularities in exponential growth rates with
regards to the leading digits distributions of their
series. (v) An account on several distributions that
are intrinsically logarithmic or approximately so. (vi)
A conceptual justification of Flehinger's iterated
averaging scheme --- an algorithm that was presented
without any clear motivation. (vii) A note on the close
relationship of Flehinger's scheme and the chain of
distribution to Hill's super distribution. (viii) A
conceptual argument justifying the scale invariance
principle --- a principle invoked in derivations of
Benford's law. (ix) A note on the intimate connection

sum of $M$ independent continuous random variables
modulo $1$ to converge to the uniform distribution in $
L^1 ([0, 1]) $, and discuss generalizations to discrete
random variables. A consequence is that if $ X_1,
\ldots {}, X_M $ are independent continuous random
variables with densities $ f_1, \ldots {}, f_M $, for
any base $B$ as $ M \to \infty $ for many choices of
the densities the distribution of the digits of $ X_1 *
\cdots {} * X_M $ converges to Benford's law base $B$.
The rate of convergence can be quantified in terms of
the Fourier coefficients of the densities, and provides
an explanation for the prevalence of Benford behavior
in many diverse systems.",

distributions as an approach to examining arbitrary
datasets. With the Newcomb--Benford law as a starting
point, a more general framework for digital analysis is
developed. A new measure is proposed based on this
framework, namely the Digital-Fit Factor (DFF). The use
of index comparison on the S\&P500 and the Dow Jones
Industrial Average is demonstrated. The DFF is then
used to construct portfolios and measure their
performance compared with that of the index. The
average returns using the measure exceed the index
composition by 6--14 percentage points per year by
being more stable at the same time. Furthermore, these
measures require only a very small proportion of the
available information and are thus very efficient.",

stimuli in more than one sensory modality. Most common
is the linkage of letters and digits (graphemes) to
colors. Whereas synaesthesia might be partly
genetically determined, the linkages to specific colors
are assumed to be learned. We present a systematic
statistical analysis of synaesthetic color perception
based on subjects' reproduction of individual colors
for each grapheme, instead of simple verbal
categorizations. The statistical analysis revealed that
the color perceptions, measured with the HSL (hue,
saturation, and luminance) scale, varied systematically
among the different digits and letters. The frequencies
of the digits and letters (in the German language)
partly explained these systematic variations. However,
digit frequency was more strongly related to color
perception in the synaesthetes than was letter
frequency. The results for digit and letter frequency
indicate that experience with graphemes may shape
synaesthetic color perception.",

the statistics of deadly conflicts, we study the
frequency and severity of terrorist attacks worldwide
since 1968. We show that these events are uniformly
characterized by the phenomenon of ``scale
invariance,'' that is, the frequency scales as an
inverse power of the severity, $ P(x) \approx x{-
\alpha } $. We find that this property is a robust
feature of terrorism, persisting when we control for
economic development of the target country, the type of
weapon used, and even for short time scales. Further,
we show that the center of the distribution oscillates
slightly with a period of roughly 13 years, that there
exist significant temporal correlations in the
frequency of severe events, and that current models of
event incidence cannot account for these variations or
the scale invariance property of global terrorism.
Finally, we describe a simple toy model for the
generation of these statistics and briefly discuss its
implications.",

abstract = "Urban areas and their voracious appetites are
increasingly dominating the flows of energy and
materials around the globe. Understanding the size
distribution and dynamics of urban areas is vital if we
are to manage their growth and mitigate their negative
impacts on global ecosystems. For over 50 years, city
size distributions have been assumed to universally
follow a power function, and many theories have been
put forth to explain what has become known as Zipf's
law (the instance where the exponent of the power
function equals unity). Most previous studies, however,
only include the largest cities that comprise the tail
of the distribution. Here we show that national,
regional and continental city size distributions,
whether based on census data or inferred from cluster
areas of remotely-sensed nighttime lights, are in fact
lognormally distributed through the majority of cities
and only approach power functions for the largest
cities in the distribution tails. To explore generating
processes, we use a simple model incorporating only two
basic human dynamics, migration and reproduction, that
nonetheless generates distributions very similar to
those found empirically. Our results suggest that
macroscopic patterns of human settlements may be far
more constrained by fundamental ecological principles
than more fine-scale socioeconomic factors.",

abstract = "Digits in statistical data produced by natural or
social processes are often distributed in a manner
described by `Benford's law'. Recently, a test against
this distribution was used to identify fraudulent
accounting data. This test is based on the supposition
that first, second, third, and other digits in real
data follow the Benford distribution while the digits
in fabricated data do not. Is it possible to apply
Benford tests to detect fabricated or falsified
scientific data as well as fraudulent financial data?
We approached this question in two ways. First, we
examined the use of the Benford distribution as a
standard by checking the frequencies of the nine
possible first and ten possible second digits in
published statistical estimates. Second, we conducted
experiments in which subjects were asked to fabricate
statistical estimates (regression coefficients). The
digits in these experimental data were scrutinized for
possible deviations from the Benford distribution.
There were two main findings. First, both digits of the
published regression coefficients were approximately
Benford distributed or at least followed a pattern of
monotonic decline. Second, the experimental results
yielded new insights into the strengths and weaknesses
of Benford tests. Surprisingly, first digits of faked
data also exhibited a pattern of monotonic decline,
while second, third, and fourth digits were distributed
less in accordance with Benford's law. At least in the
case of regression coefficients, there were indications
that checks for digit-preference anomalies should focus
less on the first (i.e., leftmost) and more on later
digits.",

monotonic decreasing distribution and proposed a
frequency proportional to the logarithmic rule.
Unfortunately, the Benford {FSD} function does not hold
for a wide range of scale-invariant multiplicative
data. To confront this problem we use
information-theoretic methods to develop a data-based

generate a system of cities that exhibits the
statistical properties of the Zipf's Law. The numerical
results suggest that the combination of bounded
rationality and maximum heterogeneity of agents can
produce a generic power-law relationship in the size
distribution of cities, but does not always generate
the Zipf's Law. We found sufficient conditions on the
probability distribution of spatial reach to generate
the Zipf's Law associated with unit power coefficient.
Our model also indicates that the Zipf's Law breaks
down unless the extent of agglomeration economies
overwhelms the negative disagglomerating forces.",

cognitive reference points with a view to perceiving
and evaluating numbers. In order to explore whether
managers set dividends per share (henceforth DPS) at or
just above a cognitive reference point, we perform a
digital analysis on {US} firms' {DPS} for the period
1995--2004. That is, based on the theory of cognitive
reference points, {DPS} of \$2.00 will be viewed as
being abnormally larger than {DPS} of \$1.99, whereas
the actual difference only amounts to a marginal
\$0.01. Results presented in this paper indicate that
managers fall back on cognitive reference points when
they set DPS, which shows in significantly more (fewer)
zeroes (large digits) in the second-from-the-left
position of {DPS} than would normally be expected.
Overall, results presented in this paper tally with
prior findings on odd-ending prices and price
clustering documented in related disciplines.",

referred by Kinnunen and Koskela (2003) as earnings
manipulative behavior to round earnings such that they
result in an upward bias. This behavior reports income
numbers to achieve key cognitive reference points
represented by $ N \times $ 10k. Using Benford's Law,
our analysis compares the distribution of second digits
in reported annual net income for publicly listed {US}
companies between a 2-year periods before and after the
year 2002 when Sarbanes--Oxley Act went into effect.
Our empirical results suggest that, in the 2-year
period prior to the Act, there was evidence of cosmetic
earnings management. However, such behavior in
manipulating net income has noticeably decreased in the
period after the Act. This finding is consistent with
the notion that Sarbanes--Oxley Act has a deterring
impact on corporate America's manipulative behavior to
report earnings that achieve certain key reference
points.",

abstract = "Price clustering is the tendency of prices to be
observed more frequently at some numbers than others.
It results from human bias and from haziness or
imprecise beliefs about underlying value. To many
Chinese, the number 8 is attractive because it is
considered lucky, while 4 is unlucky and to be avoided.
We conduct a tightly controlled experiment to determine
whether a culturally heuristic number preference
exists, by studying trading on the Shanghai and
Shenzhen stock exchanges, which historically have been
relatively segmented along cultural lines. Our results
are extremely clear. For much of our sample period
(1994 2002), the prices of A-shares (mostly held by
Chinese organisations or individuals) traded on the
Shanghai stock exchange were more than twice as likely
to end in 8, than 4. Similarly, for A-shares traded on
the Shenzhen stock exchange a preference for 8 was
found. Preference for 8 on both exchanges was initially
very strong, but has weakened somewhat over time. It is
observed in opening, high and low as well as closing
prices, reinforcing its pervasiveness. Overall, the
cultural preference manifest in the prices of A-shares
is widespread in both markets and its presence is
accentuated once other factors that influence price
clustering are taken into account. The preference for 8
was much weaker for B-shares, which largely have been
held by foreigners.",

follows from another, maybe more intuitive fact,
applied to $ Y \coloneq \log_{10}(X) $: For many real
random variables $Y$, the remainder $ U \coloneq Y -
\floor (Y) $ is approximately uniformly distributed on
$ [0, 1) $. The present paper provides new explicit
bounds for the latter approximation in terms of the
total variation of the density of $Y$ or some

alternative to traditional Fourier methods which yield
mostly qualitative results. As a by-product we obtain

conduct an eight-month measurement study to analyze the
P2P traffic characteristics that are relevant to
caching, such as object popularity, popularity
dynamics, and object size. Our study shows that the
popularity of P2P objects can be modeled by a
Mandelbrot-Zipf distribution, and that several
workloads exist in P2P traffic. Guided by our findings,
we develop a novel caching algorithm for P2P traffic
that is based on object segmentation, and proportional
partial admission and eviction of objects. Our
trace-based simulations show that with a relatively
small cache size, a byte hit rate of up to 35\% can be
achieved by our algorithm, which is close to the byte
hit rate achieved by an off-line optimal algorithm with
complete knowledge of future requests. Our results also
show that our algorithm achieves a byte hit rate that
is at least 40\% more, and at most triple, the byte hit
rate of the common web caching algorithms. Furthermore,
our algorithm is robust in face of aborted downloads,

abstract = "Many valuable text databases on the web have
noncrawlable contents that are ``hidden'' behind search
interfaces. Metasearchers are helpful tools for
searching over multiple such ``hidden-web'' text
databases at once through a unified query interface. An
important step in the metasearching process is database
selection, or determining which databases are the most
relevant for a given user query. The state-of-the-art
database selection techniques rely on statistical
summaries of the database contents, generally including
the database vocabulary and associated word
frequencies. Unfortunately, hidden-web text databases
typically do not export such summaries, so previous
research has developed algorithms for constructing
approximate content summaries from document samples
extracted from the databases via querying. We present a
novel ``focused-probing'' sampling algorithm that
detects the topics covered in a database and adaptively
extracts documents that are representative of the topic
coverage of the database. Our algorithm is the first to
construct content summaries that include the
frequencies of the words in the database.
Unfortunately, Zipf's law practically guarantees that
for any relatively large database, content summaries
built from moderately sized document samples will fail
to cover many low-frequency words; in turn, incomplete
content summaries might negatively affect the database
selection process, especially for short queries with
infrequent words. To enhance the sparse document
samples and improve the database selection decisions,
we exploit the fact that topically similar databases
tend to have similar vocabularies, so samples extracted
from databases with a similar topical focus can
complement each other. We have developed two database
selection algorithms that exploit this observation. The
first algorithm proceeds hierarchically and selects the
best categories for a query, and then sends the query
to the appropriate databases in the chosen categories.
The second algorithm uses ``shrinkage,'' a statistical
technique for improving parameter estimation in the
face of sparse data, to enhance the database content
summaries with category-specific words. We describe how
to modify existing database selection algorithms to
adaptively decide (at runtime) whether shrinkage is
beneficial for a query. A thorough evaluation over a
variety of databases, including 315 real web databases
as well as TREC data, suggests that the proposed
sampling methods generate high-quality content
summaries and that the database selection algorithms
produce significantly more relevant database selection
decisions and overall search results than existing
algorithms.",

abstract = "Kossovsky recently conjectured that the distribution
of leading digits of a chain of probability
distributions converges to Benford's law as the length
of the chain grows. We prove his conjecture in many
cases, and provide an interpretation in terms of
products of independent random variables and a central
limit theorem. An interesting consequence is that in
hierarchical Bayesian models priors tend to satisfy
Benford's Law as the number of levels of the hierarchy
increases, which allows us to develop some simple tests
(based on Benford's law) to test proposed models. We
give explicit formulas for the error terms as sums of
Mellin transforms, which converges extremely rapidly as
the number of terms in the chain grows. We may
interpret our results as showing that certain Markov
chain Monte Carlo processes are rapidly mixing to
Benford's law.",

wide-spread use for reducing the document download
latency over the Internet. Since caches are usually
organized in a hierarchical manner, it is important to
study the performance properties of tandem caches. The
first step in understanding this problem is to
characterize the miss stream from one single cache
since it represents the input to the next level cache.
In this regard, we discover that the miss stream from
one single cache is approximated well by the
superposition of a number of asymptotically independent
renewal processes. Interestingly, when this weakly
correlated miss sequence is fed into another cache,
this barely observable correlation can lead to
measurably different caching performance when compared
to the independent reference model. This result is
likely to enable the development of a rigorous analysis
of the tandem cache performance.",

numbers certain digits are more often leading digits
than others. More formally: the general law states that
the mantissae follow the logarithmic distribution in
any base. Benford's law was recognized by many
mathematicians so that several possible explanations
have been derived, but several questions are still
open. Applications are widespread, for example an
auditing technique (the so-called digital analysis),
which is employed around the world by internal revenue
services to detect tax fraud, is based on this
phenomenon.\par
In this paper it will be shown that there exists no
probability measure that would obey Benford's law for
any base, but if the set of possible bases does not
exceed a given upper limit, most real-life
distributions obey, or can be transformed to obey
Benford's law.",

numbers with no other law than that of chance, however
its global distribution presents a quite remarkable
smoothness. Such interplay between randomness and
regularity has motivated scientists of all ages to
search for local and global patterns in this
distribution that eventually could shed light into the
ultimate nature of primes. In this work we show that a
generalization of the well known first-digit Benford's
law, which addresses the rate of appearance of a given
leading digit $d$ in data sets, describes with
astonishing precision the statistical distribution of
leading digits in the prime numbers sequence. Moreover,
a reciprocal version of this pattern also takes place
in the sequence of the nontrivial Riemann zeta zeros.
We prove that the prime number theorem is, in the last
analysis, the responsible of these patterns. Some new
relations concerning the prime numbers distribution are
also deduced, including a new approximation to the
counting function $ \pi (n) $. Furthermore, some
relations concerning the statistical conformance to
this generalized Benford's law are derived. Some
applications are finally discussed.",

exponential distribution; the distribution of digits of
zeta base $B$ is known to be very close to Benford's
Law. If there exists a $C$ such that the distribution
of digits of $C$ times the elements of some set is the
same as that of zeta, we say that set exhibits shifted
exponential behavior base $B$ (with a shift of $ \log_B
C \bmod 1 $ ). Let $ X_1, \ldots {}, X_N $ be
independent identically distributed random variables.
If the $ X_i $'s are drawn from the uniform
distribution on $ [0, L] $, then as $ N \to \infty $
the distribution of the digits of the differences
between adjacent order statistics converges to shifted
exponential behavior (with a shift of $ \log_B L / N
\bmod 1 $ ). By differentiating the cumulative
distribution function of the logarithms modulo 1,
applying Poisson Summation and then integrating the
resulting expression, we derive rapidly converging
explicit formulas measuring the deviations from
Benford's Law. Fix a delta in $ (0, 1) $ and choose $N$
independent random variables from any compactly
supported distribution with uniformly bounded first and
second derivatives and a second order Taylor series
expansion at each point. The distribution of digits of
any $ N^\delta $ consecutive differences {\em and\/}
all $ N - 1 $ normalized differences of the order
statistics exhibit shifted exponential behavior. We
derive conditions on the probability density which
determine whether or not the distribution of the digits
of all the un-normalized differences converges to
Benford's Law, shifted exponential behavior, or
oscillates between the two, and show that the Pareto
distribution leads to oscillating behavior.",

We show that the mantissa (base $b$) of $ Z (t)$

Benford's Law as $ t \to \infty $. Supposing that $X$
satisfies a certain growth condition, we obtain large

occupation time) of ($ M^{(b)} (Z(t))$). Similar
results are obtained in the discrete-time case. The
latter are used to construct a non-parametric test for
nonnegative processes ( $ Z (t)$ ) (based on the
observation of significant digits of ( $ Z (n)$ ) ) of
the null hypothesis $ H_0 (\sigma_0)$ which says that
$Z$ is a general Black--Scholes process having a
volatility $ \sigma \geq \sigma_0 ( > 0)$. Finally it
is shown that the mantissa of Brownian motion is not

paper merit is likely to be Zipf distributed, making it
inherently difficult for program committees to
distinguish between most papers. We use game theory to
show that with noisy reviews and Zipf merit, authors
have an incentive to submit papers too early and too
often. These factors make conference reviewing, and
systems research as a whole, less efficient and less
effective. We describe some recent changes in
conference design to address these issues, and we

abstract = "The problem of finding heavy hitters and approximating
the frequencies of items is at the heart of many
problems in data stream analysis. It has been observed
that several proposed solutions to this problem can
outperform their worst-case guarantees on real data.
This leads to the question of whether some stronger
bounds can be guaranteed. We answer this in the
positive by showing that a class of `counter-based
algorithms' (including the popular and very
space-efficient FREQUENT and SPACESAVING algorithms)
provide much stronger approximation guarantees than
previously known. Specifically, we show that errors in
the approximation of individual elements do not depend
on the frequencies of the most frequent elements, but
only on the frequency of the remaining `tail.' This
shows that counter-based methods are the most
space-efficient (in fact, space-optimal) algorithms
having this strong error bound.\par
This tail guarantee allows these algorithms to solve
the `sparse recovery' problem. Here, the goal is to
recover a faithful representation of the vector of
frequencies, $f$. We prove that using space $ O(k) $,
the algorithms construct an approximation $ f* $ to the
frequency vector $f$ so that the L1 error $ ||f -
f*||_1 $ is close to the best possible error $ \hbox
{min}_{f_2} || f_2 - f ||_1 $, where $f$ 2 ranges over
all vectors with at most $k$ non-zero entries. This

abstract = "In this article, we explore a novel sampling model,
called {\em feature preserved sampling\/} ({\em FPS\/})
that sequentially generates a high-quality sample over
sliding windows. The sampling quality we consider
refers to the degree of consistency between the sample
proportion and the population proportion of each
attribute value in a window. Due to the time-variant
nature of real-world datasets, users are more likely to
be interested in the most recent data. However,
previous works have not been able to generate a
high-quality sample over sliding windows that precisely
preserves up-to-date population characteristics.
Motivated by this shortcoming, we have developed the
{\em FPS\/} algorithm, which has several advantages:
(1) it sequentially generates a sample from a
time-variant data source over sliding windows; (2) the
execution time of {\em FPS\/} is linear with respect to
the database size; (3) the {\em relative\/}
proportional differences between the sample proportions
and population proportions of most distinct attribute
values are guaranteed to be below a specified error
threshold, $ \epsilon $, while the {\em relative\/}
proportion differences of the remaining attribute
values are as close to $ \epsilon $ as possible, which
ensures that the generated sample is of high quality;
(4) the sample rate is close to the user specified rate
so that a high quality sampling result can be obtained
without increasing the sample size; (5) by a thorough
analytical and empirical study, we prove that {\em
FPS\/} has acceptable space overheads, especially when
the attribute values have Zipfian distributions, and
{\em FPS\/} can also excellently preserve the
population proportion of multivariate features in the
sample; and (6) {\em FPS\/} can be applied to infinite
streams and finite datasets equally, and the generated
samples can be used for various applications. Our
experiments on both real and synthetic data validate
that {\em FPS\/} can effectively obtain a high quality
sample of the desired size. In addition, while using
the sample generated by {\em FPS\/} in various mining
applications, a significant improvement in efficiency
can be achieved without compromising the model's
precision.",

Benford's law if $ \log (X) $ is uniform $ \bmod 1 $.
Many experimental data sets prove to follow an
approximate version of it, and so do many mathematical
series and continuous random variables. This phenomenon
received some interest, and several explanations have
been put forward. Most of them focus on specific data,
depending on strong assumptions, often linked with the
log function. Some authors hinted --- implicitly ---
that the two most important characteristics of a random
variable when it comes to Benford are regularity and
scatter. In a first part, we prove two theorems, making
up a formal version of this intuition: scattered and
regular r.v.'s do approximately follow Benford's law.
The proofs only need simple mathematical tools, making
the analysis easy. Previous explanations thus become
corollaries of a more general and simpler one. These
results suggest that Benford's law does not depend on
properties linked with the log function. We thus
propose and test a general version of the Benford's
law. The success of these tests may be viewed as an a
posteriori validation of the analysis formulated in the
first part.",

and 34 and compared our results to those using
observations from the grey zone (a highly regulated
lobster fishery shared by Canada and United States) and
a fishery with a different regulatory regime (snow
crab, {\em Chionoecetes opilio}). Non conformity with
Benford's Law is often considered as an indicator of
human manipulation of accounting data. We found that
observations from the grey zone conformed to the
distribution predicted by Benford's Law, whereas
observations from snow crab and both lobster fishery

the study of acceptance of specific technology features

technology acceptance among {IA} professionals and
tested the model using a sample of internal auditors
provided by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).
System usage, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease
of use were tested with technology features and
complexity. Through the comparison of {TAM} variables,
we found that technology features were accepted by
internal auditors in different ways. The basic features
such as database queries, ratio analysis, and audit
sampling were more accepted by internal auditors while
the advanced features such as digital analysis,
regression/ANOVA, and classification are less accepted
by internal auditors. As feature complexity increases,
perceived ease of use decreased so that system usage
decreased. Through the path analysis between {TAM}
variables, the results indicated that path magnitudes
were significantly changed by technology features and
complexity. Perceived usefulness had more influence on
feature acceptance when basic features were used, and
perceived ease of use had more impact on feature
acceptance when advanced features were used.",

the Heaps' law coefficient for the indexed worldwide

Previous studies used under 20,000 pages. We
demonstrate through examples how the model can be used
to analyse automatically the relatedness of word pairs

method with word triplets and through two experiments
conducted 8 months apart. We then use our model to

tampering is the addition of locally random noise to

Adding locally random noise may cause inconsistencies
in the image's noise. Therefore, the detection of
various noise levels in an image may signify tampering.
In this paper, we propose a novel method capable of
dividing an investigated image into various partitions
with homogeneous noise levels. In other words, we
introduce a segmentation method detecting changes in
noise level. We assume the additive white Gaussian
noise. Several examples are shown to demonstrate the
proposed method's output. An extensive quantitative
measure of the efficiency of the noise estimation part
as a function of different noise standard deviations,
region sizes and various {JPEG} compression qualities
is proposed as well.",

the distribution of digits of randomly selected

the digit 1 to the digit 9. This distribution
hypothesis is being discussed in recent times as an
audit instrument in order to gain insights into
possible conscious and inadvertent errors in data
records. The present paper analyses the closing
accounts of 1,373 annual financial statements of
companies listed on the German DAX and compares these
with the Benford's distribution hypothesis. It can be
seen in the process that data pertaining to financial
accounts, which have not been audited by the so-called
``Big 4'' audit firms, but by smaller external
auditors, deviate to a significant extent from the
regularity of Benford's Law, which appears to make the
use of Benford's Law suitable as a benchmark to assess
the quality of the audit.",

number of different data sets follows a logarithmic

logarithmic distribution of $ \beta $-decay half-lives
can be explained in terms of Newcomb's justification of
Benford's law and empirical exponential law of $ \beta

detected errors in data downloads, rounded data, data

false representations to gain an unjust advantage. It
occurs in a wide variety of forms and is ever changing
as new technologies and new economic and social systems
provide new opportunities for fraudulent activity. This
chapter introduces fraud detection, provides a simple
example of how to build a fraud model, and directs one
to additional references to broaden and deepen the
knowledge of the vast scope of fraud detection. Fraud
is a form of human response that can be modeled in ways
very similar to customer response in business. The
temporal dimension of fraud provides a rich source of
information related to fraud. The occurrence of a fraud
event at a given time may be highly related to the
pattern of events that happened in the past. These
historical data are the most important source of
attributes needed to sufficiently define the fraud
signature in the data set. Fraud modeling requires the
construction of reference objects based on
relationships that are drawn in the past between
various conditions and the incidence of fraud. The
basic approach to fraud detection with an analytical
model is to identify possible predictors of fraud
associated with known fraudsters and their actions in
the past. The most powerful fraud models are built on
historical data.",

uniformly distributed in an interval $ [P \log_a(10),

is shown to be number base and scale invariant. A rule
based on the mantissas of the logarithms allows for a
determination of whether a set of numbers obeys BL or
not. We show that BL applies to numbers obtained from
the {\em multiplication\/} or {\em division\/} of
numbers drawn from any distribution. We also argue that
(most of) the real-life sets that obey BL are because
they are obtained from such basic arithmetic
operations. We exhibit that all these arguments were
discussed in the original paper by Simon Newcomb in
1881, where he presented Benford's Law.",

Iranian presidential election are analysed assuming
proportionality of candidates' votes to the total vote
per voting area. This method is closely related to
Benford's Law. A highly significant ($ p \approx 0.0007
$ ) excess of vote counts for candidate $K$ that start
with the digit 7 is found (41 observed, 21.2--22
expected). Using this property as a selection criterion
leads to the following coincidences. (i) Among the six
most populous voting areas, this criterion selects
those three that have greater proportions of votes for
A than the other three. The probability that the two
sub-groups are drawn from the same distribution is $ p
\approx 0.1 $. (ii) $K$'s vote counts for these same
three voting areas all have the same second digit. The
probability of this is $ p \approx 0.01 $. (iii) Most
(75\%) of the vote counts for $K$ in voting areas with
70 to 79 votes for $K$ are odd, and every even number
occurs exactly once. The probability of the latter is $
p \approx 0.0005 $. Interpreting the big city effect
(i) +( ii) as an overestimate of the true vote, assumed
to be roughly 50\% to match other data, while retaining
constant total vote numbers and increasing votes for
the other three candidates in proportion to their
average voting percentages, would imply that the
difference between A's and M's vote totals would drop
by about one million votes. These results do not
exclude other anomalies.",

abstract = "The problem of statically assigning nonpartitioned
files in a parallel I/O system has been extensively
investigated. A basic workload characteristic
assumption of most existing solutions to the problem is
that there exists a strong inverse correlation between
file access frequency and file size. In other words,
the most popular files are typically small in size,
while the large files are relatively unpopular. Recent
studies on the characteristics of Web proxy traces
suggested, however, the correlation, if any, is so weak
that it can be ignored. Hence, the following two
questions arise naturally. First, can existing
algorithms still perform well when the workload
assumption does not hold? Second, if not, can one
develop a new file assignment strategy that is immune
to the workload assumption? To answer these questions,
we first evaluate the performance of three well-known
file assignment algorithms with and without the
workload assumption, respectively. Next, we develop a
novel static nonpartitioned file assignment strategy
for parallel I/O systems, called static round-robin
(SOR), which is immune to the workload assumption.
Comprehensive experimental results show that SOR
consistently improves the performance in terms of mean
response time over the existing schemes.",

scores of numerical data generated by many and diverse
kinds of natural phenomena and human activity are
related to the focal expression of a generalized
thermodynamic structure. This structure is obtained
from a deformed type of statistical mechanics that
arises when configurational phase space is incompletely
visited in a severe way. Specifically, the restriction
is that the accessible fraction of this space has
fractal properties. The focal expression is an
(incomplete) Legendre transform between two entropy (or
Massieu) potentials that when particularized to first
digits leads to a previously existing generalization of
Benford's law. The inverse functional of this
expression leads to Zipf's law; but it naturally
includes the bends or tails observed in real data for
small and large rank. Remarkably, we find that the
entire problem is analogous to the transition to chaos
via intermittency exhibited by low-dimensional
nonlinear maps. Our results also explain the generic
form of the degree distribution of scale-free
networks.",

abstract = "Fraud detection has become a critical component of
financial audits and audit standards have heightened
emphasis on journal entries as part of fraud detection.
This paper canvasses perspectives on applying data
mining techniques to journal entries. In the past, the
impediment to researching journal entry data mining is
getting access to journal entry data sets, which may
explain why the published research in this area is a
null set. For this project, we had access to journal
entry data sets for 29 different organizations. Our
initial exploratory test of the data sets had
interesting preliminary findings. (1) For all 29
entities, the distribution of first digits of journal
dollar amounts differed from that expected by Benford's
Law. (2) Regarding last digits, unlike first digits,
which are expected to have a logarithmic distribution,
the last digits would be expected to have a uniform
distribution. Our test found that the distribution was
not uniform for many of the entities. In fact, eight
entities had one number whose frequency was three times
more than expected. (3) We compared the number of
accounts related to the top five most frequently
occurring three last digit combinations. Four entities
had a very high occurrences of the most frequent three
digit combinations that involved only a small set of
accounts, one entity had a low occurrences of the most
frequent three digit combination that involved a large
set of accounts and 24 had a low occurrences of the
most frequent three digit combinations that involved a
small set of accounts. In general, the first four
entities would probably pose the highest risk of fraud
because it could indicate that the fraudster is
covering up or falsifying a particular class of
transactions. In the future, we will apply more data
mining techniques to discover other patterns and
relationships in the data sets. We also want to seed
the dataset with fraud indicators (e.g., pairs of
accounts that would not be expected in a journal entry)
and compare the sensitivity of the different data
mining techniques to find these seeded indicators.",

how, when and why the Newcomb--Benford law can be
observed in a set of numbers with a given probability

nuclear half-lives, and show that the law provides no
additional clue in understanding decay half-lives.
Thus, it can play no significant role in testing

why Western adults associate small numbers with left

reading: small and large numbers in our texts appeared
near the left or right ends of the lines, positioned
either spatially congruent or incongruent with reading
habits. In English, the congruent group showed reliable
{SNARC} before and after reading and the incongruent
group's {SNARC} was significantly reduced. In Hebrew
the incongruent reading condition even induced a
reverse SNARC. These results show that {SNARC} is a
fleeting aspect of number representation that captures
multiple spatial associations.",

abstract = "An often reported, but nevertheless persistently
striking observation, formalized as the Newcomb-Benford
law (NBL), is that the frequencies with which the
leading digits of numbers occur in a large variety of
data are far away from being uniform. Most spectacular
seems to be the fact that in many data the leading
digit 1 occurs in nearly one third of all cases.
Explanations for this uneven distribution of the
leading digits were, among others, scale- and
base-invariance. Little attention, however, found the
interrelation between the distribution of the
significant digits and the distribution of the observed
variable. It is shown here by simulation that long
right-tailed distributions of a random variable are
compatible with the NBL, and that for distributions of
the ratio of two random variables the fit generally
improves. Distributions not putting most mass on small
values of the random variable (e.g. symmetric
distributions) fail to fit. Hence, the validity of the
NBL needs the predominance of small values and, when
thinking of real-world data, a majority of small
entities. Analyses of data on stock prices, the areas
and numbers of inhabitants of countries, and the
starting page numbers of papers from a bibliography
sustain this conclusion. In all, these findings may
help to understand the mechanisms behind the NBL and
the conditions needed for its validity. That this law
is not only of scientific interest per se, but that, in
addition, it has also substantial implications can be
seen from those fields where it was suggested to be put
into practice. These fields reach from the detection of
irregularities in data (e.g. economic fraud) to
optimizing the architecture of computers regarding
number representation, storage, and round-off errors.",

significands, i.e. the fraction parts in the
floating-point representation of ($ x_n$) are
distributed logarithmically. Similarly, a discrete-time
irreducible and aperiodic finite-state Markov chain
with probability transition matrix $P$ and limiting
matrix $ P*$ is Benford if every component of both
sequences of matrices $ (P^n - P*)$ and $ (P^{n + 1} -
P^n)$ is Benford or eventually zero. Using recent tools
that established Benford behavior both for Newton's
method and for finite-dimensional linear maps, via the
classical theories of uniform distribution modulo $1$
and Perron-Frobenius, this paper derives a simple
sufficient condition (nonresonant) guaranteeing that
$P$, or the Markov chain associated with it, is
Benford. This result in turn is used to show that
almost all Markov chains are Benford, in the sense that
if the transition probabilities are chosen
independently and continuously, then the resulting
Markov chain is Benford with probability one. Concrete
examples illustrate the various cases that arise, and
the theory is complemented with several simulations and
potential applications.",

the following seemingly innocent arithmetic procedure
applied to integers: If an integer $x$ is odd then
``multiply by three and add one'', while if it is even
then ``divide by two''. The $ 3 x + 1$ problem asks
whether, starting from any positive integer, repeating
this procedure over and over will eventually reach the
number 1. Despite its simple appearance, this problem
is unsolved. Generalizations of the problem are known
to be undecidable, and the problem itself is believed
to be extraordinarily difficult. This book reports on
what is known on this problem. It consists of a
collection of papers, which can be read independently
of each other. The book begins with two introductory
papers, one giving an overview and current status, and
the second giving history and basic results on the
problem. These are followed by three survey papers on
the problem, relating it to number theory and dynamical
systems, to Markov chains and ergodic theory, and to
logic and the theory of computation. The next paper
presents results on probabilistic models for behavior
of the iteration. This is followed by a paper giving
the latest computational results on the problem, which
verify its truth for $ x < 5.4 \cdot 10^{18}$. The book
also reprints six early papers on the problem and
related questions, by L. Collatz, J. H. Conway, H. S.
M. Coxeter, C. J. Everett, and R. K. Guy, each with
editorial commentary. The book concludes with an
annotated bibliography of work on the problem up to the

as a first digit only 5\% of the time. Here, we
demonstrate that several data sets in the field of drug
discovery follow Benford's distribution, whereas
doctored data do not. Our findings indicate the
applicability of Benford's law in assessing data

digital data have been acute challenges for many
sectors since the very same set of enabling techniques
for generating and processing digital data started to
emerge. Although traditional protective methods, such
as encryption and digital signatures, have been in use
for decades, their inability to provide protection
after decryption and locating tampering has prompted
the development of digital watermarking. In this paper,
a semi-fragile watermarking algorithm for
authenticating 2D {CAD} engineering graphics based on
log-polar coordinate mapping is proposed. Firstly, the
vertices are divided into groups, and for each group,
the vertices for carrying a watermark are mapped to the
log-polar coordinate system. Then the watermark is
embedded in the mantissa of the real-valued log-polar
coordinates via bit substitution. Theoretical analysis
and experimental results show that the proposed
algorithm is not only robust against incidental global
operations such as rotation, translation and scaling,
but can also detect and locate malicious attacks such
as entity modification and entity addition/deletion.",

in rank-order distribution of axial line length, which
is a global pattern observed in real cities, due to
interaction of a set of seven simple spatial rules at a
local scale. These rules and their interactions form a
model expected to simulate the morphological structure
of free spaces in unplanned organic pedestrian small
cities. Effects of each of the seven rules are
discussed through repeated simulations of eight
possible combinations of the rules, using a bottom-up
process. The results show that the rules generate
environments with statistically stable rank-order
distribution of axial line length that follows the
power law. It means that the axial maps of the
simulated environments have a scale-free hierarchical
structure such that their distributions lean toward
short axial lines. It also represents dominance of
local spatial structure, as the model renders a faster
rate of growth at a local scale while allowing a steady
growth at a global scale.",

abstract = "More than 100 years ago it was predicted that the
distribution of first digits of real world observations
would not be uniform, but instead follow a trend where
measurements with lower first digit (1, 2, \ldots {})
occur more frequently than those with higher first
digits (\ldots {}, 8, 9). This result has long been
known but regarded largely as a mathematical curiosity
and received little attention in the natural sciences.
Here we show that the first digit rule is likely to be
a widespread phenomenon and may provide new ways to
detect anomalous signals in data. We test 15 sets of
modern observations drawn from the fields of physics,
astronomy, geophysics, chemistry, engineering and
mathematics, and show that Benford's law holds for them
all. These include geophysical observables such as the
length of time between geomagnetic reversals, depths of
earthquakes, models of Earth's gravity, geomagnetic and
seismic structure. In addition we find it also holds
for other natural science observables such as the
rotation frequencies of pulsars; green-house gas
emissions, the masses of exoplanets as well as numbers
of infectious diseases reported to the World Health
Organization. The wide range of areas where it is
manifested opens up new possibilities for exploitation.
An illustration is given of how seismic energy from an
earthquake can be detected from just the first digit
distribution of displacement counts on a seismometer,
i.e., without actually looking at the details of a
seismogram at all. This led to the first ever detection
of an earthquake using first digit information alone.",

their first digits conform to this law. However, the

can be accessed over an anonymity network, such as Tor.
While most hidden services are legitimate, some host
illegal content. There has been a fair amount of
research on locating hidden services, but an open
problem is to develop a general method to prove that a
physical machine, once confiscated, was in fact the
machine that had been hosting the illegal content. In
this paper we assume that the hidden service logs
requests with some timestamp, and give experimental
results for leaving an identifiable fingerprint in this
log file as a timing channel that can be recovered from
the timestamps. In 60 min, we are able to leave a
36-bit fingerprint that can be reliably recovered. The
main challenges are the packet delays caused by the
anonymity network that requests are sent over and the
existing traffic in the log from the actual clients
accessing the service. We give data to characterize
these noise sources and then describe an implementation
of timing-channel fingerprinting for an Apache web
server based hidden service on the Tor network, where
the fingerprint is an additive channel that is
superencoded with a Reed Solomon code for reliable
recovery. Finally, we discuss the inherent tradeoffs
and possible approaches to making the fingerprint more
stealthy.",

abstract = "Why does Zipf's law give a good description of data
from seemingly completely unrelated phenomena? Here it
is argued that the reason is that they can all be
described as outcomes of a ubiquitous random group
division: the elements can be citizens of a country and
the groups family names, or the elements can be all the
words making up a novel and the groups the unique
words, or the elements could be inhabitants and the
groups the cities in a country and so on. A random
group formation (RGF) is presented from which a
Bayesian estimate is obtained based on minimal
information: it provides the best prediction for the
number of groups with $k$ elements, given the total
number of elements, groups and the number of elements
in the largest group. For each specification of these
three values, the RGF predicts a unique group
distribution $ N(k) \propto \exp ( - b k) / k^\gamma $,
where the power-law index $ \gamma $ is a unique
function of the same three values. The universality of
the result is made possible by the fact that no
system-specific assumptions are made about the
mechanism responsible for the group division. The
direct relation between $ \gamma $ and the total number
of elements, groups and the number of elements in the
largest group is calculated. The predictive power of
the RGF model is demonstrated by direct comparison with
data from a variety of systems. It is shown that $
\gamma $ usually takes values in the interval $ 1 \leq
\gamma \leq 2 $ and that the value for a given
phenomenon depends in a systematic way on the total
size of the dataset. The results are put in the context
of earlier discussions on Zipf's and Gibrat's laws, $
N(k) \propto k^{-2} $ and the connection between growth
models and RGF is elucidated.",

abstract = "Many systems exhibit a digit bias. For example, the
first digit base 10 of the Fibonacci numbers, or of $
2^n $, equals 1 not 10\% or 11\% of the time, as one
would expect if all digits were equally likely, but
about 30\% of the time. This phenomenon, known as
Benford's Law, has many applications, ranging from
detecting tax fraud for the IRS to analyzing round-off
errors in computer science.\par
The central question is determining which data sets
follow Benford's law. Inspired by natural processes
such as particle decay, our work examines models for
the decomposition of conserved quantities. We prove
that in many instances the distribution of lengths of
the resulting pieces converges to Benford behavior as
the number of divisions grow. The main difficulty is
that the resulting random variables are dependent,
which we handle by a careful analysis of the
dependencies and tools from Fourier analysis to obtain
quantified convergence rates.",

sequence of letters and blanks, where a group of
letters surrounded by two blanks is defined as a word.
We compare the statistics of the word distribution for
a monkey book to real books. It is shown that the word
distribution statistics for the monkey book is
different and quite distinct from a typical real book.
In particular, the monkey book obeys Heaps' power law
to an extraordinarily good approximation, in contrast
to the word distributions for real books, which deviate
from Heaps' law in a characteristic way. This
discrepancy is traced to the different properties of a
`spiked' distribution and its smooth envelope. The
somewhat counter-intuitive conclusion is that a `monkey
book' obeys Heaps' power law precisely because its
word-frequency distribution is not a smooth power law,
contrary to the expectation based on simple
mathematical arguments that if one is a power law, so
is the other.",

abstract = "While there is a growing professional interest on the
application of Benford's law and digit analysis in
financial fraud detection, there has been relatively
little academic research to demonstrate its efficacy as
a decision support tool in the context of an analytical
review procedure pertaining to a financial audit. We
conduct a numerical study using a genetically optimized
artificial neural network. Building on an earlier work
by others of a similar nature, we assess the benefits
of Benford's law as a useful classifier in segregating
naturally occurring (i.e. non-concocted) numbers from
those that are made up. Alongside the frequency of the
first and second significant digits and their mean and
standard deviation, a posited set of non-digit input
variables categorized as information theoretic,
distance-based and goodness-of-fit measures, help to
minimize the critical classification errors that can
lead to an audit failure. We come up with the optimal
network structure for every instance corresponding to a
$ 3 \times 3 $ Manipulation Involvement matrix that is
drawn to depict the different combinations of the level
of sophistication in data manipulation by the
perpetrators of a financial fraud and also the extent
of collusive involvement.",

abstract = "This article investigates electoral irregularities in
the 1990 to 2005 Bundestag elections of unified
Germany. Drawing on the Second Digit Benford Law (2BL)
by Mebane (2006), the analysis consists of comparing
the observed frequencies of numerals of candidate votes
and party votes at the precinct level against the
expected frequencies according to Benford's Law. Four
central findings stand out. First, there is no evidence
for systematic fraud or mismanagement with regard to
candidate votes from districts where fraud would be
most instrumental. Second, at the state level
(Bundesland), there are 51 violations in 190 tests of
the party list votes. Third, East German states are not
more prone to violations than Western ones. This
finding refutes the notion that the East's more recent
transition to democracy poses problems in electoral
management. Fourth, a strong variation in patterns of
violation across Bundesl{\"a}nder exists: states with
dominant party control are more likely to display
irregularities. The article concludes by hypothesizing
and exploring the notion that partisan composition of
nominees involved in the counting may produce a higher
likelihood of violation and be a cause of L{\"a}nder
variation. This may especially be the case when a party
dominates in a Bundesland or opponents to the former
socialist regime party are involved in the counting.",

abstract = "We present ongoing research in the application of
information theory to animal communication systems with
the goal of developing additional detectors and
estimators for possible extraterrestrial intelligent
signals. Regardless of the species, for intelligence
(i.e., complex knowledge) to be transmitted certain
rules of information theory must still be obeyed. We
demonstrate some preliminary results of applying
information theory to socially complex marine mammal
species (bottlenose dolphins and humpback whales) as
well as arboreal squirrel monkeys, because they almost
exclusively rely on vocal signals for their
communications, producing signals which can be readily
characterized by signal analysis. Metrics such as
Zipf's Law and higher-order information-entropic
structure are emerging as indicators of the
communicative complexity characteristic of an
intelligent message content within these animals
signals, perhaps not surprising given these species
social complexity. In addition to human languages, for
comparison we also apply these metrics to pulsar
signals perhaps (arguably) the most organized of
stellar systems as an example of astrophysical systems
that would have to be distinguished from an
extraterrestrial intelligence message by such
information theoretic filters. We also look at a
message transmitted from Earth (Arecibo Observatory)
that contains a lot of meaning but little information
in the mathematical sense we define it here. We
conclude that the study of non-human communication
systems on our own planet can make a valuable
contribution to the detection of extraterrestrial
intelligence by providing quantitative general measures
of communicative complexity. Studying the complex
communication systems of other intelligent species on
our own planet may also be one of the best ways to
deprovincialize our thinking about extraterrestrial
communication systems in general.",

abstract = "Motivated by giving a meaning to ``The probability
that a random integer has initial digit $d$'', we
define a URI-set as a random set $E$ of natural
integers such that each $ n > 0$ belongs to $E$ with
probability $ 1 / n$, independently of other integers.
This enables us to introduce two notions of densities
on natural numbers: The URI-density, obtained by
averaging along the elements of $E$, and the local
URI-density, which we get by considering the $k$-th
element of $E$ and letting $k$ go to infinity. We prove
that the elements of $E$ satisfy Benford's law, both in
the sense of URI-density and in the sense of local
URI-density. Moreover, if $ b_1 $ and $ b_2 $ are two
multiplicatively independent integers, then the
mantissae of a natural number in base $ b_1 $ and in
base $ b_2 $ are independent. Connections of
URI-density and local URI-density with other well-known
notions of densities are established: Both are stronger
than the natural density, and URI-density is equivalent
to log-density. We also give a stochastic
interpretation, in terms of URI-set, of the $ H_\infty
$-density.",

theorem: by updating our initial beliefs with objective
new information, we get a new and improved belief. To
its adherents, it is an elegant statement about
learning from experience. To its opponents, it is
subjectivity run amok. In the first-ever account of
Bayes' rule for general readers, Sharon Bertsch
McGrayne explores this controversial theorem and the
human obsessions surrounding it. She traces its
discovery by an amateur mathematician in the 1740s
through its development into roughly its modern form by
French scientist Pierre Simon Laplace. She reveals why
respected statisticians rendered it professionally
taboo for 150 years --- at the same time that
practitioners relied on it to solve crises involving
great uncertainty and scanty information, even breaking
Germany's Enigma code during World War II, and explains
how the advent of off-the-shelf computer technology in
the 1980s proved to be a game-changer. Today, Bayes'
rule is used everywhere from DNA de-coding to Homeland
Security. Drawing on primary source material and
interviews with statisticians and other scientists, The
Theory That Would Not Die is the riveting account of
how a seemingly simple theorem ignited one of the
greatest controversies of all time.",

tends to follow a logarithmic distribution such that

here numerical data on the country-wise adherent
distribution of seven major world religions i.e.,
Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism,
Judaism and Baha'ism to see if the proportion of the
leading digits occurring in the distribution conforms
to Benford's law. We find that the adherent data of all
the religions, except Christianity, excellently does
conform to Benford's law. Furthermore, unlike the
adherent data on Christianity, the significant digit
distribution of the three major Christian denominations
i.e. Catholicism, Protestantism and Orthodoxy obeys the
law. Thus in spite of their complexity general laws can
be established for the evolution of the religious
groups.",

auditors have successfully used Benford's law as part
of their fraud detection processes. Benford's law
proposes a distribution for first digits of numbers in
naturally occurring data. Government accounting and
statistics are similar in nature to financial
accounting. In the European Union (EU), there is
pressure to comply with the Stability and Growth Pact
criteria. Therefore, like firms, governments might try
to make their economic situation seem better. In this
paper, we use a Benford test to investigate the quality
of macroeconomic data relevant to the deficit criteria
reported to Eurostat by the EU member states. We find
that the data reported by Greece shows the greatest
deviation from Benford's law among all euro states.",

significant digit appearing in a data would be
nonuniformly distributed, with the number one appearing
with the highest frequency. This law goes by the name
of Benford's law. It holds for data ranging from
infectious disease cases to national greenhouse gas
emissions. Quantum phase transitions are cooperative
phenomena where qualitative changes occur in many-body
systems at zero temperature. We show that the
century-old Benford's law can detect quantum phase
transitions, much like it detects earthquakes.
Therefore, being certainly of very different physical
origins, seismic activity and quantum cooperative
phenomena may be detected by similar methods. The
result has immediate implications in precise
measurements in experiments in general, and for
realizable quantum computers in particular. It shows
that estimation of the first significant digit of
measured physical observables is enough to detect the
presence of quantum phase transitions in macroscopic
systems.",

article alleging that several global banks were
reporting Libor quotes significantly lower than those
implied by prevailing credit default swap (CDS)
spreads. While acknowledging that the analysis doesn t
prove that banks are lying or manipulating Libor, it
nevertheless conjectures that these banks may have been
low-balling their borrowing rates to avoid looking
desperate for cash. In this paper we compare Libor with
other short-term borrowing rates, analyze individual
bank quotes, and compare these individual quotes to
{CDS} spreads and market capitalization data during
three periods: 1/1/07 8/8/07 (Period 1), 8/9/07 4/16/08
(Period 2), and 4/17/08 5/30/08 (Period 3). We find
some anomalous individual quotes, but the evidence is
inconsistent with a material manipulation of the {US}
dollar 1-month Libor rate.",

output changes. The results show that prices strongly
cluster around the dollar digit value of 9 within the
{TPZ} sub-periods, but not outside the sub-periods.
Furthermore, the degree of clustering declines when
production capacity utilization is high and when
production significantly exceeds quotas, consistent
with OPEC's inability to defend the zone. Nine-centered
clustering also results in lower contemporaneous and
next-day volatility. These results support the target
pricing zone hypothesis of crude oil.",

hand, the present paper concerns the Antoinist
community financial reports a community which appeared
at the end of the 19-th century in Belgium. Several
growth decay regimes have been previously found over
different time spans. However, there is common
suspicion about sect finances. In that spirit, the
Antoinist community yearly financial reports, income
and expenses, are hereby examined through the so-called
Benford's Law. The latter is often used as a test about
possible accounting wrongdoings. On the other hand,
Benford's Law is known to be invariant under scale and
base transformation. Therefore, as a further test, of
both such data and the use of Benford's Law, the yearly
financial reports are nonlinearly remapped through a
sort of Theil transformation, i.e. based on a
log-transformation. The resulting data is again
analyzed along the Benford's Law scheme. Bizarre,
puzzling, features are seen. However, it is emphasized
that such a non-linear transformation can shift the
argument toward a more objective conclusion. In an
appendix, some brief discussion is made on why the
original Theil mapping should not be used. In a second
appendix, an imperfect Benford's Law-like form better
suited for anomalous distributions is presented.",

classical law of Zipf with exponent 1. The work of
Campanario and Coslado (2011), however, shows that
Benford's law does not always fit practical data in a
statistical sense. In this article, we use a
generalization of Benford's law related to the general
law of Zipf with exponent $ \beta > 0 $. Using data
from Campanario and Coslado, we apply nonlinear least
squares to determine the optimal $ \beta $ and show
that this generalized law of Benford fits the data

abstract = "This paper begins with the statistics of the decimal
digits of $ n / d $ with $ (n, d) \in N^2 $ randomly
chosen. Starting with a statement by Ces{\`a}ro on
probabilistic number theory, see Ces{\`a}ro (1885)
[3,4], we evaluate, through the Euler function, an
integral appearing there. Furthermore the probabilistic
statement itself is proved, using a different approach:
in any case the probability of a given digit $r$ to be
the first decimal digit after dividing a couple of
random integers is $ p_r = 1 / 20 + 1 / 2 \{ \psi (r /
10 + 11 / 10) - \psi (r / 10 10 + 1) \} $. The theorem
is then generalized to real numbers (Theorem 1, holding
a proof of both $ n / d$ results) and to the $ \alpha $
th power of the ratio of integers (Theorem 2), via an
elementary approach involving the function and the
Hurwitz function. The article provides historic
remarks, numerical examples, and original theoretical
contributions: also it complements the recent renewed
interest in {Benford's Law} among number theorists.",

simplifies a result of Ces{\`a}ro (1885), and predicts
that the probability of the first quotient digit being
$r$ is given by $ p(r) = 1 / 20 + (1 / 2)*(\psi ((r +

distribution of seven major world religions i.e.
Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism,

the religions, except Christianity, excellently does
conform to Benford's Law. Furthermore, unlike the
adherent data on Christianity, the significant digit
distribution of the three major Christian denominations
i.e., Catholicism, Protestantism and Orthodoxy obeys
the law. Thus in spite of their complexity, general

ENIAC Determination of $ \pi $ and $e$ to more than
2000 Decimal Places'' in Mathematical Tables and Other
Aides to Computation \cite{Reitwiesner:1950:EDM} which
described the first use of a computer, the ENIAC, to
calculate the decimal expansion of $ \pi $. Since the
history of $ \pi $ stretches back over thousands of
years, the use of the ENIAC to determine $ \pi $ is an
important historical and technological milestone. It is
especially interesting since the ENIAC was not designed
to perform this type of calculation as it could only
store 200 decimal digits while the determination of e
and $ \pi $ required manipulating numbers 2000+ digits
long. Starting with Reitwiesner's description of the
calculation, the known architecture of the ENIAC, how
it was programmed, and the mathematics used, we examine
why the calculation was undertaken, how the calculation
had to be done, and what was subsequently learned.",

remark = "This paper contains an interesting survey of work on
the calculation of $ \pi $ up to the early 1950s, with
a detailed reconstruction of its determination on the
ENIAC. From page 1 of the paper: ``Early in June, 1949,
Professor John von Neumann expressed an interest in the
possibility that the ENIAC might sometime be employed
to determine the value of $ \pi $ and $e$ to many
decimal places with a view toward obtaining a
statistical measure of the randomness of the
distribution of the digits.'' From page 2: ``\ldots{}
Augustus De Morgan (1806--1871) who noticed the smaller
number of appearances of the digit 7 in Shank's 607
digit determination of $ \pi $. It was later determined
that Shank's determination had an error beginning at
the 528th digit.'' From page 11: ``A preliminary
investigation has indicated that the digits of $e$
deviate significantly from randomness (in the sense of
staying closer to their expected values than a random
sequence of this length normally would) while for $ \pi
$ no significant deviations have so far been
detected.'' See \cite{Metropolis:1950:STV} for that
analysis.",

problem of steganography detection in {JPEG} images by
applying a statistical attack. The method is based on
the empirical Benford's Law and, more specifically, on
its generalized form. We prove and extend the validity
of the logarithmic rule in colour images and introduce
a blind steganographic method which can flag a file as
a suspicious stego-carrier. The proposed method
achieves very high accuracy and speed and is based on
the distributions of the first digits of the quantized
Discrete Cosine Transform coefficients present in
JPEGs. In order to validate and evaluate our algorithm,
we developed steganographic tools which are able to
analyse image files and we subsequently applied them on
the popular Uncompressed Colour Image Database.
Furthermore, we demonstrate that not only can our
method detect steganography but, if certain criteria
are met, it can also reveal which steganographic
algorithm was used to embed data in a {JPEG} file.",

area of accountancy that requires them to have
knowledge of the courtroom, rules of evidence, and
investigative techniques in addition to generally
accepted accounting principles and generally accepted
auditing standards. The practice of forensic accounting
is used in criminal investigations to prosecute fraud,
embezzlement, ponzi, and terrorist-financing schemes.
While in civil litigation disputes, forensic accounting
methods are employed to determine the value of economic
damages related to insurance claims, lost profits,
bankruptcy, qui-tam actions, and divorce. The ultimate
role of the forensic accountant is to use their
forensic accounting skills to prepare a written report
and to provide expert testimony based on the findings
in the written report that will help the judge and the
members of the jury to better understand complex
financial transactions.",

when potentially far-reaching conclusions will be based

ecotoxicological data used in risk assessment.
Currently, several approaches are available to classify
the reliability of ecotoxicological data. The process
of classification, such as using the Klimisch score, is
time-consuming and focuses on the application of
standardised protocols and the documentation of the
study. The presence of irregularities and the integrity
of the performed work, however, are not addressed. The
present study shows that Benford's Law, based on the
occurrence of first digits following a logarithmic
scale, can be applied to ecotoxicity test data for
identifying irregularities. This approach is already
successfully applied in accounting. Benford's Law can
be used as reliability indicator, in addition to
existing reliability classifications. The law can be
used to efficiently trace irregularities in large data
sets of interpolated (no) effect concentrations such as
LC50s (possibly the result of data manipulation),
without having to evaluate the source of each
individual record. Application of the law to systems in
which large amounts of toxicity data are registered
(e.g., European Commission Regulation concerning the
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction
of Chemicals) can therefore be valuable.",

asserting that the distribution of leading digits,
taken from a large ensemble of positive numerical
values that range over many orders of scale, is
logarithmic rather than uniform (as intuition
suggests). In this paper we explore Benford's Law from
a Poisson perspective, considering ensembles of
positive numerical values governed by Poisson-process
statistics. We show that this Poisson setting naturally
accommodates Benford's Law and: (i) establish a Poisson
characterization and a Poisson multidigit-extension of
Benford's Law; (ii) study a system-invariant
leading-digit distribution which generalizes Benford's
Law, and establish a Poisson characterization and a
Poisson multidigit-extension of this distribution;
(iii) explore the universal emergence of the
system-invariant leading-digit distribution, couple
this universal emergence to the universal emergence of
the Weibull and Fr{\'e}chet extreme-value
distributions, and distinguish the special role of
Benford's Law in this universal emergence; (iv) study
the continued-fractions counterpart of the
system-invariant leading-digit distribution, and
establish a Poisson characterization of this
distribution; and (v) unveil the elemental connection
between the system-invariant leading-digit distribution
and its continued-fractions counterpart. This paper
presents a panoramic Poisson approach to Benford's Law,
to its system-invariant generalization, and to its
continued-fractions counterpart.",

and applied policy analysts is beginning to explore
three questions: when do elections meet standards of
electoral integrity? When do they fail to do so? And
what can be done to mitigate these problems? To address
these issues, Part 1 in this paper outlines the concept
of electoral integrity, proposing a comprehensive and
broad definition founded upon global norms and
international conventions. Part 2 argues that several
sub-fields contribute towards the study of electoral
integrity, although commonly fragmented at present,
including (i) public sector management; (ii) political
culture; (iii) comparative institutions; and (iv)
security studies. The emerging research agenda focused
on electoral integrity, cutting across these
conventional disciplinary boundaries, is characterized
by its problem-oriented focus and global comparative
framework, as well as by its use of pluralistic methods
and analytical techniques. Part 3 outlines the
contribution of papers in this symposium. The
conclusion summarizes the key features of this new
research agenda studying electoral integrity.",

abstract = "The use of statistical methods for the description of
complex quantum systems was primarily motivated by the
failure of a line-by-line interpretation of atomic
spectra. Such methods reveal regularities and trends in
the distributions of levels and lines. In the past,
much attention was paid to the distribution of energy
levels (Wigner surmise, random-matrix model). However,
information about the distribution of the lines (energy
and strength) is lacking. Thirty years ago, Learner
found empirically an unexpected law: the logarithm of
the number of lines whose intensities lie between
$^{2k}I_0$ and $^{2k + 1}I_0$, $ I_0$ being a reference
intensity and $k$ an integer, is a decreasing linear
function of $k$. In the present work, the fractal
nature of such an intriguing regularity is outlined and
a calculation of its fractal dimension is proposed.
Other peculiarities are also presented, such as the
fact that the distribution of line strengths follows
Benford's law of anomalous numbers, the existence of
additional selection rules (PH coupling), the symmetry
with respect to a quarter of the subshell in the
spin-adapted space (LL coupling) and the odd even
staggering in the distribution of quantum numbers,
pointed out by Bauche and Coss{\'e}.",

distribution of leading (or leftmost) digits of
innumerable datasets follows a well-defined logarithmic
trend, rather than an intuitive uniformity. In practice
this means that the most common leading digit is 1,
with an expected frequency of 30.1\%, and the least
common is 9, with an expected frequency of 4.6\%. The
history and development of Benford's Law is inexorably
linked to physics, yet there has been a dearth of
physics-related Benford datasets reported in the
literature. Currently, the most common application of
Benford's Law is in detecting number invention and
tampering such as found in accounting-, tax-, and
voter-fraud. We demonstrate that answers to
end-of-chapter exercises in physics and chemistry
textbooks conform to Benford's Law. Subsequently, we
investigate whether this fact can be used to gain
advantage over random guessing in multiple-choice
tests, and find that while testbank answers in
introductory physics closely conform to Benford's Law,
the testbank is nonetheless secure against such a
Benford's attack for banal reasons.",

abstract = "The automation of extracting chemical names from text
has significant value to biomedical and life science
research. A major barrier in this task is the
difficulty of getting a sizable and good quality data
to train a reliable entity extraction model. Another
difficulty is the selection of informative features of
chemical names, since comprehensive domain knowledge on
chemistry nomenclature is required. Leveraging random
text generation techniques, we explore the idea of
automatically creating training sets for the task of
chemical name extraction. Assuming the availability of
an incomplete list of chemical names, called a
dictionary, we are able to generate well-controlled,
random, yet realistic chemical-like training documents.
We statistically analyze the construction of chemical
names based on the incomplete dictionary, and propose a
series of new features, without relying on any domain
knowledge. Compared to state-of-the-art models learned
from manually labeled data and domain knowledge, our
solution shows better or comparable results in
annotating real-world data with less human effort.
Moreover, we report an interesting observation about
the language for chemical names. That is, both the
structural and semantic components of chemical names
follow a Zipfian distribution, which resembles many
natural languages.",

law holds for the inter-arrival times of TCP flows in
case of normal traffic. Consequently, any type of
anomalies affecting TCP flows, including intentional
intrusions or unintended faults and network failures in
general, can be detected by investigating the
first-digit distributions of the inter-arrival times of
TCP SYN packets. In this paper we apply our findings to
the detection of intentional attacks, and leave other
types of anomalies for future works. We support our
claim with related researches that indicate the TCP
flow inter-arrival times can be modeled by Weibull
distribution with shape parameter less than 1, and show
the relation between Weibull distributed data and
Benford's law. Finally, we validate our findings on
real traffic and achieve encouraging results.",

frequency of significant digits in databases
corresponding to various phenomena, natural or
artificial. Although counter intuitive at the first
sight, it predicts a higher occurrence of digit $1$,
and decreasing occurrences to other larger digits. Here
we report the Benford analysis of various NMR databases
and draw several interesting inferences. We observe
that, in general, NMR signals follow Benford
distribution in time-domain as well as in frequency
domain. Our survey included NMR signals of various
nuclear species in a wide variety of molecules in
different phases, namely liquid, liquid-crystalline,
and solid. We also studied the dependence of Benford
distribution on NMR parameters such as signal to noise
ratio, number of scans, pulse angles, and apodization.
In this process we also find that, under certain
circumstances, the Benford analysis can distinguish a
genuine spectrum from a visually identical simulated
spectrum. Further we find that chemical-shift databases
and amplitudes of certain radio frequency pulses
generated using optimal control techniques also satisfy
Benford's law to a good extent.",

applied as an audit tool in accountancy. This study
investigated the sensitivity of the technique in
identifying system output changes using simulated
changes in interventional radiology Dose-Area-Product
(DAP) data, with any deviations from Benford's
distribution identified using z-statistics. The
radiation output for interventional radiology X-ray
equipment is monitored annually during quality control
testing; however, for a considerable portion of the
year an increased output of the system, potentially
caused by engineering adjustments or spontaneous system
faults may go unnoticed, leading to a potential
increase in the radiation dose to patients. In normal
operation recorded examination radiation outputs vary
over multiple orders of magnitude rendering the
application of normal statistics ineffective for
detecting systematic changes in the output. In this
work, the annual DAP datasets complied with Benford's
first order law for first, second and combinations of
the first and second digits. Further, a continuous
rolling second order technique was devised for trending
simulated changes over shorter timescales. This
distribution analysis, the first employment of the
method for radiation output trending, detected
significant changes simulated on the original data,
proving the technique useful in this case. The
potential is demonstrated for implementation of this

abstract = "The classic data in the literature for the grain size
dependence of the strength in many metals are reviewed.
The exponent $x$ relating strength to grain size $
d^{-x}$ is not often the eponymous inverse square-root
relationship (known as the Hall--Petch effect), but is
widely scattered from values as low as $ x = 0.2$ to
values as high as $ x = 1$. These exponents for
individual datasets are shown to be largely
meaningless. For an ensemble of n selected datasets,
the fit to the functional form $ \ln [d] / d + {\rm
const}$ with $ n + 1$ free fitting parameters is found
to be almost as good as the fit to $ 1 / \sqrt [d] +
{\rm const}$ with $ 2 n$ fitting parameters (the
Hall--Petch fit). The probability that the former is
the preferable fit is high. Some data sets do not agree
with the $ \ln [d] / d$ fit, but their deviation is
readily explained on simple physical grounds. Moreover,
even when they are included in the fit, statistical
tests still show that the $ \ln [d] / d$ form is
preferable by a wide margin. The conclusion is that the
Hall--Petch effect is not another size effect sui
generis but is the same size effect as that observed in
epitaxial thin film growth and in micromechanical
testing of small specimens. Consequently we propose
that grain size strengthening of metals is driven by
constraints on stress and dislocation curvature
according to the space available.",

techniques to fraud detection in the audit of financial

future research. Currently, the application of data
mining to auditing is at an early stage of development
and researchers take a scatter-shot approach,
investigating patterns in financial statement
disclosures, text in annual reports and MD\&As, and the
nature of journal entries without appropriate guidance
being drawn from lessons in known fraud patterns. To
develop structure to research in data mining, we create
a taxonomy that combines research on patterns of
observed fraud schemes with an appreciation of areas
that benefit from productive application of data
mining. We encapsulate traditional views of data mining
that operates primarily on quantitative data, such as
financial statement and journal entry data. In
addition, we draw on other forms of data mining,
notably text and email mining.",

Austrian price comparison site and find a remarkable
prevalence of such price setting. Prices ending with

significantly lower probability; rivals underbid these
prices more seldom if they represent the cheapest price
on the market, and we observe higher price jumps by
price leaders for these price points. Finally, we
explore the impact of these price points on the

and ongoing suspicions of the quality of GDP data and
examines the evidence. Second, it documents the
institutional framework for data compilation and
concludes on the implications for data quality. Third,
it asks how the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics
could possibly go about credibly falsifying GDP data
without being found out. Fourth, it examines if the
first- and second-digit distributions of official GDP
data conform to established data regularities
(Benford's Law). The findings are that the supposed
evidence for GDP data falsification is not compelling,
that the National Bureau of Statistics has much
institutional scope for falsifying GDP data, and that
certain manipulations of nominal and real data would be
virtually undetectable. Official GDP data, however,
exhibit few statistical anomalies (conform to Benford's
Law) and the National Bureau of Statistics thus either
makes no significant use of its scope to falsify data,
or is aware of statistical data regularities when it
falsifies data.",

This in general involves four components: channel
selection, client association, channel access, and
client scheduling. In this paper, we present a unified
framework for jointly addressing the four components
with the global system objective of maximizing the
clients throughput in a proportionally fair manner. Our
formulation allows a natural dissociation of the
problem into two subparts. We show that the first part,
involving channel access and client scheduling, is
convex and derive a distributed adaptation procedure
for achieving a Pareto-optimal solution. For the second
part, involving channel selection and client
association, we develop a Gibbs-sampler-based approach
for local adaptation to achieve the global objective,
as well as derive fast greedy algorithms from it that
achieve good solutions often.",

different stages of the election process, and fraud can
occur in many instances and different forms. This paper
provides a general approach for the detection of fraud.
While most existing contributions focus on a single
instance and form of fraud, we propose a more
encompassing approach, testing for several empirical
implications of different possible forms of fraud. To
illustrate this approach we rely on a case of electoral
irregularities in one of the oldest democracies: In a
Swiss referendum in 2011, one in twelve municipalities
irregularly destroyed the ballots, rendering a recount
impossible. We do not know whether this happened due to
sloppiness, or to cover possible fraudulent actions.
However, one of our statistical tests leads to results,
which point to irregularities in some of the
municipalities, which lost their ballots: they reported
significantly fewer empty ballots than the other
municipalities. Relying on several tests leads to the
well known multiple comparisons problem. We show two
strategies and illustrate strengths and weaknesses of
each potential way to deal with multiple tests.",

empirical results show that, regardless of developed

earnings. More importantly, it was found that the
degree of earnings management is significantly less

investigate the relationship among accounting
conservatism, institutional investor shareholdings, and
earnings manipulation by using Benford's law. Our
results indicate that firms with more conservative
financial reporting have less probability of engaging
in earnings-manipulative activities. We also find the
negative association between earnings management and
institutional investor shareholdings. However, if
corporate financial statements tend toward
conservatism, institutional investor shareholdings
could increase managers' incentive to manage earnings.

to want, to reduce election fraud? In recent years,
non-democratic rulers have surprisingly begun to
embrace fraud-reducing technologies, like web cameras
or transparent ballot boxes. The reason for this is
found in the relative ease by which one type of fraud
can be replaced with another. With the help of new
fraud identification techniques, I argue that the
installation of web cameras in polling stations changes
how fraud is conducted. Web cameras do not reduce
fraud, but rather make certain blatant forms of fraud,
like ballot box stuffing, more costly. Autocrats then
substitute for other types of fraud, such as
fabricating the vote count out of view of the
cameras.",

songs or movies, and shopping carts, where users are
interested in finding top-$k$ packages, consisting of
sets of items. In response to this need, there has been
a recent flurry of activity around extending classical
recommender systems (RS), which are effective at
recommending individual items, to recommend packages,
or sets of items. The few recent proposals for package
RS suffer from one of the following drawbacks: they
either rely on hard constraints which may be difficult
to be specified exactly by the user or on returning
Pareto-optimal packages which are too numerous for the
user to sift through. To overcome these limitations, we
propose an alternative approach for finding
personalized top-$k$ packages for users, by capturing
users' preferences over packages using a linear utility
function which the system learns. Instead of asking a
user to specify this function explicitly, which is
unrealistic, we explicitly model the uncertainty in the
utility function and propose a preference
elicitation-based framework for learning the utility
function through feedback provided by the user. We
propose several sampling-based methods which, given
user feedback, can capture the updated utility
function. We develop an efficient algorithm for
generating top-$k$ packages using the learned utility
function, where the rank ordering respects any of a
variety of ranking semantics proposed in the
literature. Through extensive experiments on both real
and synthetic datasets, we demonstrate the efficiency
and effectiveness of the proposed system for finding
top-$k$ packages.",

01, 1905 till Dec. 31, 2001, i.e. over 97 years or

of Benford's Law. Some interpretation is proposed,
based on the statistical aspects due to population
sizes, rather than on human thought constraints when
the law breakdown is usually expected. Benford's Law
breakdown clearly points to natural causes.",

3D scanning and tracking of human faces, greatly
advancing the creation of digital doubles for film and
video games. However, despite the high-resolution
quality of the reconstruction approaches available,
current methods are unable to capture one of the most
important regions of the face --- the eye region. In
this work we present the first method for detailed
spatio-temporal reconstruction of eyelids. Tracking and
reconstructing eyelids is extremely challenging, as
this region exhibits very complex and unique skin
deformation where skin is folded under while opening
the eye. Furthermore, eyelids are often only partially
visible and obstructed due to self-occlusion and
eyelashes. Our approach is to combine a geometric
deformation model with image data, leveraging
multi-view stereo, optical flow, contour tracking and
wrinkle detection from local skin appearance. Our
deformation model serves as a prior that enables
reconstruction of eyelids even under strong
self-occlusions caused by rolling and folding skin as
the eye opens and closes. The output is a
person-specific, time-varying eyelid reconstruction
with anatomically plausible deformations. Our
high-resolution detailed eyelids couple naturally with
current facial performance capture approaches. As a
result, our method can largely increase the fidelity of
facial capture and the creation of digital doubles.",

the frequency of significant digits in naturally

first sight, Benford's law has seen applications in a
wide variety of fields like physics, earth-science,
biology, finance, etc. In this work, we have explored
the use of Benford's law for various spectroscopic
applications. Although, we use NMR signals as our
databases, the methods described here may also be
extended to other spectroscopic techniques. In

demonstrate emphasizing weak NMR signals and spectral

of multiobjective optimization problems. Motivated by
the discrepancy between worst-case analysis and
practical experience, this line of research has gained
a lot of attention in the last decade. We consider
problems in which d linear and one arbitrary objective
function are to be optimized over a set $ S \subseteq
\{ 0, 1 \}^n $ of feasible solutions. We improve the
previously best known bound for the smoothed number of
Pareto-optimal solutions to $ O(n^{2 d} \phi^d) $,
where $ \phi $ denotes the perturbation parameter.
Additionally, we show that for any constant $c$ the $c$
th moment of the smoothed number of Pareto-optimal
solutions is bounded by $ O((n^{2 d} \phi^d)^c)$. This
improves the previously best known bounds
significantly. Furthermore, we address the criticism
that the perturbations in smoothed analysis destroy the
zero-structure of problems by showing that the smoothed
number of Pareto-optimal solutions remains polynomially
bounded even for zero-preserving perturbations. This
broadens the class of problems captured by smoothed
analysis and it has consequences for nonlinear
objective functions. One corollary of our result is
that the smoothed number of Pareto-optimal solutions is
polynomially bounded for polynomial objective
functions. Our results also extend to integer
optimization problems.",

provides a more flexible and complete characterization

digital microscopy is well suited for analyzing
morphologies, depths, and profiles of different punch
marks. Here, we used these parameters for interpreting
the punching process and recognizing sliding and
bouncing effects. The 3D reconstruction of the surface
engraved also allowed identifying types of anomalies
that could be useful as possible authentication
markers. The advantages of the present approach with

exchange-rate observed values with those of Benford's
Law. For most cases we find that the exchange rate for
the US dollar does not satisfy Benford's Law, however
this law holds when the euro is considered. This result
may be explained by the fact that these countries are
characterized for having different degrees of
dollarization and intervention in the US dollar forex
market while there is almost no policy intervention in
the euro forex market. Our approach is an alternative
view of how these characteristics play a role inducing
deviations with respect to an implied equilibrium

identifying their source is useful for criminal
investigations and also to authenticate digital copies
of a document. In this paper, we propose novel
techniques for laser printer attribution. Our solutions
do not need very high resolution scanning of the
investigated document and explore the multidirectional,
multiscale and low-level gradient texture patterns
yielded by printing devices. The main contributions of
this work are: (1) the description of printed areas
using multidirectional and multiscale co-occurring
texture patterns; (2) description of texture on
low-level gradient areas by a convolution texture
gradient filter that emphasizes textures in specific
transition areas and (3) the analysis of printer
patterns in segments of interest, which we call frames,
instead of whole documents or only printed letters. We
show by experiments in a well documented dataset that
the proposed methods outperform techniques described in
the literature and present near-perfect classification
accuracy being very promising for deployment in
real-world forensic investigations.",

is the problem of dealing with budget-constrained
agents. A desirable goal in practice is to design
incentive compatible, individually rational, and Pareto
optimal auctions while respecting the budget
constraints. Achieving this goal is particularly
challenging in the presence of nontrivial combinatorial
constraints over the set of feasible allocations.
Toward this goal and motivated by AdWords auctions, we
present an auction for polymatroidal environments
satisfying these properties. Our auction employs a
novel clinching technique with a clean geometric
description and only needs an oracle access to the
submodular function defining the polymatroid. As a
result, this auction not only simplifies and
generalizes all previous results, it applies to several
new applications including AdWords Auctions, bandwidth
markets, and video on demand. In particular, our
characterization of the AdWords auction as
polymatroidal constraints might be of independent
interest. This allows us to design the first mechanism
for Ad Auctions taking into account simultaneously
budgets, multiple keywords and multiple slots. We show
that it is impossible to extend this result to generic
polyhedral constraints. This also implies an
impossibility result for multiunit auctions with
decreasing marginal utilities in the presence of budget
constraints.",

abstract = "Contrary to common intuition that all digits should
occur randomly with equal chances in real data,
empirical examinations consistently show that not all
digits are created equal, but rather that low digits
such as {1, 2, 3} occur much more frequently than high
digits such as {7, 8, 9} in almost all data types, such
as those relating to geology, chemistry, astronomy,
physics, and engineering, as well as in accounting,
financial, econometrics, and demographics data sets.
This intriguing digital phenomenon is known as
Benford's Law. This book represents an attempt to give
a comprehensive and in-depth account of all the
theoretical aspects, results, causes and explanations
of Benford's Law, with a strong emphasis on the
connection to real-life data and the physical
manifestation of the law. In addition to such a bird's
eye view of the digital phenomenon, the conceptual
distinctions between digits, numbers, and quantities
are explored; leading to the key finding that the
phenomenon is actually quantitative in nature;
originating from the fact that in extreme generality,
nature creates many small quantities but very few big
quantities, corroborating the motto ``small is
beautiful'', and that therefore all this is applicable
just as well to data written in the ancient Roman,
Mayan, Egyptian, and other digit-less civilizations.
Fraudsters are typically not aware of this digital
pattern and tend to invent numbers with approximately
equal digital frequencies. The digital analyst can
easily check reported data for compliance with this
digital law, enabling the detection of tax evasion,
Ponzi schemes, and other financial scams. The forensic
fraud detection section in this book is written in a
very concise and reader-friendly style; gathering all
known methods and standards in the accounting and
auditing industry; summarizing and fusing them into a
singular coherent whole; and can be understood without
deep knowledge in statistical theory or advanced
mathematics. In addition, a digital algorithm is
presented, enabling the auditor to detect fraud even
when the sophisticated cheater is aware of the law and
invents numbers accordingly. The algorithm employs a
subtle inner digital pattern within the Benford's
pattern itself. This newly discovered pattern is deemed
to be nearly universal, being even more prevalent than
the Benford phenomenon, as it is found in all random
data sets, Benford as well as non-Benford types.",

smart camera networks, which use strategies based on
social and economic knowledge to target communication
activity efficiently. We compare homogeneous
configurations, when cameras use the same strategy,
with heterogeneous configurations, when cameras use
different strategies. Our first contribution is to
establish that static heterogeneity leads to new
outcomes that are more efficient than those possible
with homogeneity. Next, two forms of dynamic
heterogeneity are investigated: nonadaptive mixed
strategies and adaptive strategies, which learn online.
Our second contribution is to show that mixed
strategies offer Pareto efficiency consistently
comparable with the most efficient static heterogeneous
configurations. Since the particular configuration
required for high Pareto efficiency in a scenario will
not be known in advance, our third contribution is to
show how decentralized online learning can lead to more
efficient outcomes than the homogeneous case. In some
cases, outcomes from online learning were more
efficient than all other evaluated configuration types.
Our fourth contribution is to show that online learning
typically leads to outcomes more evenly spread over the
objective space. Our results provide insight into the
relationship between static, dynamic, and adaptive
heterogeneity, suggesting that all have a key role in
achieving efficient self-organization.",

abstract = "Embedded multicore systems are playing increasingly
important roles in the design of consumer electronics.
The objective of such systems is to optimize both
performance and power characteristics of mobile
devices. However, currently there are no power metrics
supporting popular application design platforms (such
as SID) that application developers use to develop
their applications. This hinders the ability of
application developers to optimize power consumption.
In this article we present the design and experiments
of a SID-based power-aware simulation framework for
embedded multicore systems. The proposed power
estimation flow includes two phases: IP-level power
modeling and power-aware system simulation. The first
phase employs PowerMixer$^{IP}$ to construct the power
model for the processor IP and other major IPs, while
the second phase involves a power abstract
interpretation method for summarizing the simulation
trace, then, with a CPE module, estimating the power
consumption based on the summarized trace information
and the input of IP power models. In addition, a
Manager component is devised to map each digital signal
processor (DSP) component to a host thread and maintain
the access to shared resources. The aim is to maintain
the simulation performance as the number of simulated
DSP components increases. A power-profiling API is also
supported that developers of embedded software can use
to tune the granularity of power-profiling for a
specific code section of the target application. We
demonstrate via case studies and experiments how
application developers can use our SID-based power
simulator for optimizing the power consumption of their
applications. We characterize the power consumption of
DSP applications with the DSPstone benchmark and
discuss how compiler optimization levels with SIMD
intrinsics influence the performance and power
consumption. A histogram application and an
augmented-reality application based on human-face-based
RMS (recognition, mining, and synthesis) application
are deployed as running examples on multicore systems
to demonstrate how our power simulator can be used by
developers in the optimization process to illustrate
different views of power dissipations of
applications.",

FiDi game, where image pairs (source image and target
image) with five different patches are manually
produced by professional game developers, the proposed
Personalized FiDi (P-FiDi) electronic game can be
played in a fully automatic Snap \& Play mode. Snap
means that players first take photos with their digital
cameras. The newly captured photos are used as source
images and fed into the P-FiDi system to autogenerate
the counterpart target images for users to play. Four
steps are adopted to autogenerate target images:
enhancing the visual quality of source images,
extracting some changeable patches from the source
image, selecting the most suitable combination of
changeable patches and difference styles for the image,
and generating the differences on the target image with
state-of-the-art image processing techniques. In
addition, the P-FiDi game can be easily redesigned for
the im-game advertising. Extensive experiments show
that the P-FiDi electronic game is satisfying in terms
of player experience, seamless advertisement, and
technical feasibility.",

dynamically reconfigurable systems that can meet
real-time constraints on energy, performance, and

significantly expand the applicability of dynamically
reconfigurable systems to new domains, such as digital
video processing. We develop a dynamically
reconfigurable 2D FIR filtering system that can meet
real-time constraints in energy, performance, and
accuracy (EPA). The real-time constraints are
automatically generated based on user input, image
types associated with video communications, and video
content. We first generate a set of Pareto-optimal
realizations, described by their EPA values and
associated 2D FIR hardware description bitstreams.
Dynamic management is then achieved by selecting
Pareto-optimal realizations that meet the automatically
generated time-varying EPA constraints. We validate our
approach using three different 2D Gaussian filters.
Filter realizations are evaluated in terms of the
required energy per frame, accuracy of the resulting
image, and performance in frames per second. We
demonstrate dynamic EPA management by applying a
Difference of Gaussians (DOG) filter to standard video
sequences. For video frame sizes that are equal to or
larger than the VGA resolution, compared to a static
implementation, our dynamic system provides significant
reduction in the total energy consumption
({$>$30}\%).",

abstract = "Over the past three decades, the introduction of
digital technologies in the field of architectural
documentation has profoundly changed tools and
acquisition techniques. Most of the developments
concern metrical and colorimetric characteristics of
the objects studied. These developments, surrounding
the practice of architectural survey, tend to respond
primarily to the requirements of completeness. In this
context, it seems necessary to assess the impact of
these instruments on the cognitive value of
architectural representation. With a strong
technological presence, the study of the built heritage
is facing a problem of ``information overload.''
Indeed, this strong technological presence fails to
strengthen representation in its role as a vehicle of
knowledge. Confronted with the intelligibility deficit,
this article proposes an original approach for reading
morphological features of an artifact by using a
bottom-up approach: the meaning of elements (i.e.,
their semantic layouts) come from a statistical
analysis of the major shape discontinuities of a
collection of instances. The idea is to rely on data
accumulation to render apparent high-level semantic
structures from the comparative analysis of common
low-level geometric features. The principles introduced
are illustrated by the study of 31 columns of the
cloister of the abbey of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa. To
summarize, the first objective is to understand how
digital technologies can help us in the analysis of
artistic and technical production of Romanesque
columns. The second objective is to automatically
identify the common semantic articulations of the
entire collection to build a reference model for the
future assessment of each artifact.",

are used as forensic evidence. To decide whether an
unknown speech recording comes from mobile phone or not
becomes an important issue in digital audio forensics.
The communicating conversation recorded by mobile
phones is encoded by Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) audio
codec, which was adopted as the standard speech codec
by 3GPP and widely used in {GSM} and UMTS. Therefore,
{AMR} decompressed audio detection can be used to
identify the source of the digital audio recording.
Furthermore, it is helpful to locate the forgery
position of the splicing {AMR} decompressed audio for
forensic purposes. In this article, we focus on the
identification of {AMR} decompressed audio, namely,
given the waveform of an audio, we wish to identify
whether it has been previously compressed by {AMR}
codec or not. The artifacts introduced by the {AMR}
codec will help to detect the source of the recordings.
Based on our analysis, we find that the sample
repetition rate of the {AMR} decompressed waveform is
significantly greater than the regular waveform.
Therefore, we employ the sample repetition rate as a
feature to identify the {AMR} decompressed audio. The
experimental results show that this feature is robust
and effective.",

is an essential task in the field of cultural heritage
conservation. Digitization plays an important role in
the process of creating, preserving, and accessing
objects in digital space. Up to the present day,
industrial scanners are used for this task, which focus
mainly on the detailed reconstruction of the object's
geometry only. However, particularly important for a
faithful digital presentation of the object is the
appearance information-that is, a description of the
used materials and how they interact with incident
light. Using the world's first full-spherical scanner,
we propose a user-friendly reconstruction process that
is specifically tailored to the needs of digitizing and
representing cultural heritage artifacts. More
precisely, our hardware specifically addresses the
problem that invaluable or fragile artifacts may not be
turned over during acquisition. Nevertheless, we can
digitize the object completely, including its bottom.
Further, by integrating appearance information into our
digitization, we achieve a far more faithful digital
replica with a quality comparable to a real picture of
the object. But in contrast to a static picture, our
representation allows one to interactively change the
viewing and lighting directions freely. In addition,
the results are very memory efficient, consuming only
several megabytes per scanned object. In cooperation
with museums and a private collector, we digitized
several cultural heritage artifacts to demonstrate the
feasibility of the proposed process.",

abstract = "Computer science (CS) and its enabling technologies
are at the heart of this information age, yet its
adoption as a core subject by senior secondary students
in Indian schools is low and has not reached critical
mass. Though there have been efforts to create core
curriculum standards for subjects like Physics,
Chemistry, Biology, and Math, CS seems to have been
kept outside the purview of such efforts leading to its
marginalization. As a first step, using the Darmstadt
model from the ITiCSE working group that provides a
systematic categorization approach to CS education in
schools, we coded and analyzed the CS situation for the
Indian schools. Next, we focused on the motivation
category of the Darmstadt model and investigated
behavioral intentions of secondary school students and
teachers from 332 schools in India. Considering the CS
subject as an educational innovation, using Rogers'
Theory of Diffusion of Innovations, we propose a
pedagogical framework for innovation attributes that
can significantly predict-adoption of the CS subject
among potential-adopter students and teachers. Data was
analyzed to answer research questions about student and
teacher intentions, influence of gender, school
management, and school location in adopting CS.
Interestingly, girls, urban students, teachers, and
private schools were seen favoring the adoption of CS.
An important issue that needed to be addressed,
however, was the interchangeable use of terms like CS,
Informatics, ICT, and digital literacy. Through our
article, we offer a promising picture of the
educational policy directives and the academic
environment in India that is rapidly growing and
embracing CS as a core subject of study in schools. We
also analyze the factors that influence the adoption of
CS by school students and teachers and conclude that
there is a very positive response for CS among
educators and students in India.",

abstract = "Recommender systems are quickly becoming ubiquitous in
applications such as e-commerce, social media channels,
and content providers, among others, acting as an
enabling mechanism designed to overcome the information
overload problem by improving browsing and consumption
experience. A typical task in many recommender systems
is to output a ranked list of items, so that items
placed higher in the rank are more likely to be
interesting to the users. Interestingness measures
include how accurate, novel, and diverse are the
suggested items, and the objective is usually to
produce ranked lists optimizing one of these measures.
Suggesting items that are simultaneously accurate,
novel, and diverse is much more challenging, since this
may lead to a conflicting-objective problem, in which
the attempt to improve a measure further may result in
worsening other measures. In this article, we propose
new approaches for multiobjective recommender systems
based on the concept of Pareto efficiency-a state
achieved when the system is devised in the most
efficient manner in the sense that there is no way to
improve one of the objectives without making any other
objective worse off. Given that existing multiobjective
recommendation algorithms differ in their level of
accuracy, diversity, and novelty, we exploit the
Pareto-efficiency concept in two distinct manners: (i)
the aggregation of ranked lists produced by existing
algorithms into a single one, which we call
Pareto-efficient ranking, and (ii) the weighted
combination of existing algorithms resulting in a
hybrid one, which we call Pareto-efficient
hybridization. Our evaluation involves two real
application scenarios: music recommendation with
implicit feedback (i.e., Last.fm) and movie
recommendation with explicit feedback (i.e.,
MovieLens). We show that the proposed Pareto-efficient
approaches are effective in suggesting items that are
likely to be simultaneously accurate, diverse, and
novel. We discuss scenarios where the system achieves
high levels of diversity and novelty without
compromising its accuracy. Further, comparison against
multiobjective baselines reveals improvements in terms
of accuracy (from 10.4\% to 10.9\%), novelty (from
5.7\% to 7.5\%), and diversity (from 1.6\% to 4.2\%).",

solution to enhance cultural experiences inside
museums, as they can satisfy visitors' needs through
the provision of contextualized contents and services.
In this framework, a promising approach to captivate
the attention of teenagers-a hard to please target
audience-is represented by mobile serious games, such
as playful activities aiming to primarily fulfil
educational purposes. The use of a mobile digital tool
during the visit definitely discloses new opportunities
for contextual learning scenarios; however, so far,
only a few studies have analysed the impact of
different communication approaches on visitors' degree
of exploration and acquisition of knowledge. This work
aims to enrich this field of research, presenting the
conceptual framework; the design principles; and the
evaluation results of ``Gossip at palace,'' a
location-based mobile game integrating a storytelling
approach. The game was developed for an Italian
historical residence to communicate its 18th-century
history to teenagers, capitalizing on narrative and
game mechanics to foster young visitors' motivations to
explore the museum and facilitate their meaning-making
process. Following a mixed-methods perspective, the
article firstly describes to what extent the components
of the application were appreciated by teenagers as
well as by other visitor segments. Secondly, it
provides an insight on the effectiveness of the game in
facilitating the acquisition of historical knowledge by
participants, enriched by considerations on the methods
to be adopted when evaluating mobile learning in
informal educational settings. Thirdly, players' degree
of use of the digital game throughout the visit is
compared to analogous patterns registered for people
using a multimedia mobile guide in the same venue. On
the one hand, the study pointed out that the game
facilitated a wider exploration of the museum; on the
other, it highlighted that players mainly gained a
superficial knowledge of the proposed contents.",

Technology provides valuable information about
vulnerabilities in popular software, as well as any

Most enterprise security managers today simply patch
the most dangerous vulnerabilities-an adversary can
thus easily compromise an enterprise by using less
important vulnerabilities to penetrate an enterprise.
In this article, we capture the vulnerabilities in an
enterprise as a Vulnerability Dependency Graph (VDG)
and show that attacks graphs can be expressed in them.
We first ask the question: What set of vulnerabilities
should an attacker exploit in order to maximize his
expected impact? We show that this problem can be
solved as an integer linear program. The defender would
obviously like to minimize the impact of the worst-case
attack mounted by the attacker-but the defender also
has an obligation to ensure a high productivity within
his enterprise. We propose an algorithm that finds a
Pareto-optimal solution for the defender that allows
him to simultaneously maximize productivity and
minimize the cost of patching products on the
enterprise network. We have implemented this framework
and show that runtimes of our computations are all
within acceptable time bounds even for large VDGs
containing 30K edges and that the balance between
productivity and impact of attacks is also
acceptable.",

innumerable datasets follows a well-defined logarithmic
trend, rather than an intuitive uniformity. In practice
this means that the most common leading digit is 1,
with an expected frequency of 30.1\%, and the least
common is 9, with an expected frequency of 4.6\%.
Currently, the most common application of Benford's Law
is in detecting number invention and tampering such as
found in accounting-, tax-, and voter-fraud. We
demonstrate that answers to end-of-chapter exercises in
physics and chemistry textbooks conform to Benford's
Law. Subsequently, we investigate whether this fact can
be used to gain advantage over random guessing in
multiple-choice tests, and find that while testbank
answers in introductory physics closely conform to
Benford's Law, the testbank is nonetheless secure
against such a Benford's attack for banal reasons.",

abstract = "Parallelism is currently seen as a mechanism to
minimize the impact of the power and heat dissipation
problems encountered in modern hardware. Data
parallelism-based on partitioning the data-and pipeline
parallelism-based on partitioning the computation-are
the two main approaches to leverage parallelism on a
wide range of hardware platforms. Unfortunately, not
all data processing problems are susceptible to either
of those strategies. An example is the skyline operator
[B{\"o}rzs{\"o}nyi et al. 2001], which computes the set
of Pareto-optimal points within a multidimensional
dataset. Existing approaches to parallelize the skyline
operator are based on data parallelism. As a result,
they suffer from a high overhead when merging
intermediate results because of the lack of a global
view of the problem inherent to partitioning the input
data. In this article, we show how to combine pipeline
with data parallelism on a Field-Programmable Gate
Array (FPGA) for a more efficient utilization of the
available hardware parallelism. As we show in our
experiments, skyline computation using our proposed
technique scales linearly with the number of processing
elements, and the performance we achieve on a rather
small FPGA is comparable to that of a 64-core high-end
server running a state-of-the-art data parallel
implementation of skyline [Park et al. 2009]. The
proposed approach to parallelize the skyline operator
can be generalized to a wider range of data processing
problems. We demonstrate this through a novel, highly
parallel data structure, a shifter list, that can be
efficiently implemented on an FPGA. The resulting
template is easy to parametrize to implement a variety
of computationally intensive operators such as frequent
items, n -closest pairs, or K-means.",

statistically. It was established that for the
absorbance spectra the Benford distribution of leading
digits takes place, whereas the distribution of leading
digits for transmittance spectra is random. This
observation may be explained by the fact that the value
of transmittance $ T_r $ is restricted $ 0 < T_r < 1 $,
due to the physical reasons, whereas the value of
absorbance is not. Moreover, the transmittance and
absorbance $A$ are interrelated by the logarithmic
dependence $ A = \log T_r$. This observation supplies
the idea that the Benford law is valid in the
situations, when logarithmic dependencies take place.
Amalgamation of spectral data obtained for various
polymers brings the distribution of the leading digits
in the absorbance domain into proximity to the Benford
Law.",

and techniques of data science for using computation to
model and interpret data. The book is based on an MIT
course (which became the most popular course offered
through MIT's OpenCourseWare) and was developed for use
not only in a conventional classroom but in a massive
open online course (MOOC). This new edition has been
updated for Python 3, reorganized to make it easier to
use for courses that cover only a subset of the
material, and offers additional material including five
new chapters. Students are introduced to Python and the
basics of programming in the context of such
computational concepts and techniques as exhaustive
enumeration, bisection search, and efficient
approximation algorithms. Although it covers such
traditional topics as computational complexity and
simple algorithms, the book focuses on a wide range of
topics not found in most introductory texts, including
information visualization, simulations to model
randomness, computational techniques to understand
data, and statistical techniques that inform (and
misinform) as well as two related but relatively
advanced topics: optimization problems and dynamic
programming. This edition offers expanded material on
statistics and machine learning and new chapters on

Law in any integer base $ b \geq 2$. However, given a

logarithmic density equal to $ \log_b(1 + S^{ 1})$.
Thus, $ \{ \lambda_f(p) \}_{p \in P}$ follows Benford's
Law with respect to logarithmic density. Both results
rely on the now-proven Sato -Tate Conjecture.",

in large data is often governed by a logarithmically
decreasing distribution called Benford's law (BL),
reported first by S. Newcomb (SN) and many decades
later independently by F. Benford (FB). Due to its
counter-intuitiveness the law was ignored for decades
as a mere curious observation. However, an indication
of its remarkable resurgence is the huge swell in the
number of citations received by the papers of SN/FB.
The law has come a long way, from obscurity to now
being a regular subject of books, peer reviewed papers,
patents, blogs and news. Here, we use Google Scholar
(GS) to collect the data on the number of citations
received by the articles citing the original paper of
SN/FB and then investigate whether the leading digits
of this citations data are distributed according to the
law they discovered. We find that the citations data of
literature on BL is in remarkable agreement with the
predictions of the law.",

in official air quality data from Beijing for the years
2008--2013. It is shown that, consistent with prior
research, the official Chinese data report suspiciously
few observations that exceed the politically important
Blue Sky Day threshold, a particular air pollution
level used to evaluate local officials, and an excess
of observations just below that threshold. Similar
data, measured by the US Embassy in Beijing, do not
show this irregularity. To document likely
misreporting, this analysis proposes a new way of
comparing air quality data via Benford's Law, a
statistical regularity known to fit air pollution data.
Using this method to compare the official data to the
US Embassy data for the first time, I find that the
Chinese data fit Benford's Law poorly until a change in
air quality measurements at the end of 2012. From 2013
onwards, the Chinese data fit Benford's Law closely.
The US Embassy data, by contrast, exhibit no variation
over time in the fit with Benford's Law, implying that
the underlying pollution processes remain unchanged.
These findings suggest that misreporting of air quality
data for Beijing has likely ended in 2012.
Additionally, I use aerosol optical density data to
show the general applicability of this method of
detecting likely misreporting in air pollution data.",

storage systems design and performance optimization.
With the emergence of flash memory as a new viable
storage medium, the new design concern of flash
endurance arises, necessitating a revisit of workload
characteristics, in particular, of the write behavior.
Inspired by Web caching studies where a Zipf-like
access pattern is commonly found, we hypothesize that
write count distribution at the block level may also
follow Zipf's Law. To validate this hypothesis, we
study 48 block I/O traces collected from a wide variety
of real and benchmark applications. Through extensive
analysis, we demonstrate that the Zipf-like pattern
indeed widely exists in write traffic provided its
disguises are removed by statistical processing. This
finding implies that write skew in a large class of
applications could be analytically expressed and, thus,
facilitates design tradeoff explorations adaptive to
workload characteristics.",

abstract = "It is well known that sequences such as the Fibonacci
numbers and the factorials satisfy Benford's Law; that
is, leading digits in these sequences occur with
frequencies given by $ P(d) = \log_{10} (1 + 1 / d) $,
$ d = 1, 2, \ldots, 9 $. In this paper, we investigate
leading digit distributions of arithmetic sequences
from a local point of view. We call a sequence locally
Benford distributed of order $k$ if, roughly speaking,
$k$-tuples of consecutive leading digits behave like
$k$ independent Benford-distributed digits. This notion
refines that of a Benford distributed sequence, and it
provides a way to quantify the extent to which the
Benford distribution persists at the local level.
Surprisingly, most sequences known to satisfy Benford's
Law have rather poor local distribution properties. In
our main result we establish, for a large class of
arithmetic sequences, a ``best-possible'' local Benford
Law; that is, we determine the maximal value k such
that the sequence is locally Benford distributed of
order k. The result applies, in particular, to
sequences of the form $ \{ a^n \} $, $ \{ a^{n^d} \} $,
and $ \{ n^\beta a^{n^\alpha } \} $, as well as the
sequence of factorials $ \{ n! \} $ and similar
iterated product sequences.",

abstract = "Recently proposed real number systems like Posits and
Elias codes make use of tapered accuracy resulting from
variable-length coding of exponents and significands.
Several quite different interpretations of these number
systems have been provided, though most often these
rely on some combination of fixed- and variable-length
codes for exponent and significand. We provide a new
perspective on these number systems that unifies known
representations while suggesting new ones. Our
framework is based on multibit radix representations
that encode the exponent in unary, the leading nonzero
digit in a variable-length code, and the remaining
digits in fixed-length binary code. We show how Posits,
the various Elias codes, and IEEE 754 like
representations can be expressed in this framework.
Moreover, we show that Posits and the Elias and codes
represent the leading digit using the canonical Huffman
code for a probability distribution given by Benford's
law, which governs the probability of leading digits.
We further show that Posits correspond to the use of a
fixed radix while Elias and codes are based on simple
sequences of increasing radix. Our approach provides
for an intuitive and uniform framework for representing
numbers that reveals a visual mapping between codewords
and the binary representation of real numbers obscured
by prior frameworks. This new interpretation suggests a
generalization of Posits and other number systems and
provides simple rules for designing
information-theoretically optimal codes.",

abstract = "Adversarial examples have been well known as a serious
threat to deep neural networks (DNNs). In this work, we
study the detection of adversarial examples, based on
the assumption that the output and internal responses
of one DNN model for both adversarial and benign
examples follow the generalized Gaussian distribution
(GGD), but with different parameters (i.e., shape
factor, mean, and variance). GGD is a general
distribution family to cover many popular distributions
(e.g., Laplacian, Gaussian, or uniform). It is more
likely to approximate the intrinsic distributions of
internal responses than any specific
distribution. Besides, since the shape factor is more
robust to different databases rather than the other two
parameters, we propose to construct discriminative
features via the shape factor for adversarial
detection, employing the magnitude of Benford-Fourier
coefficients (MBF), which can be easily estimated using
responses. Finally, a support vector machine is trained
as the adversarial detector through leveraging the MBF
features. Extensive experiments in terms of image
classification demonstrate that the proposed detector
is much more effective and robust on detecting
adversarial examples of different crafting methods and
different sources, compared to state-of-the-art
adversarial detection methods.",

abstract = "From one of the architects of the new science of
simplicity and complexity comes a highly personal,
unifying vision of the natural world. As a theoretical
physicist, Murray Gell-Mann has explored nature at its
most fundamental level. His achievements include the
1969 Nobel Prize for work leading up to his discovery
of the quark --- the basic building block of all atomic
nuclei throughout the universe. But Gell-Mann is a man
of many intellectual passions, with lifelong interests
in fields that seek to understand existence at its most
complex: natural history, biological evolution, the
history of language, and the study of creative
thinking. These seemingly disparate pursuits come
together in Gell-Mann's current work at the Santa Fe
Institute, where scientists are investigating the
similarities and differences among complex adaptive
systems --- systems that learn or evolve by utilizing
acquired information. They include a child learning his
or her native language, a strain of bacteria becoming
resistant to an antibiotic, the scientific community
testing new theories, or an artist implementing a
creative idea. The Quark and the Jaguar is Gell-Mann's
own story of finding the connections between the basic
laws of physics and the complexity and diversity of the
natural world. The simple: a quark inside an atom. The
complex: a jaguar prowling its jungle territory in the
night. Exploring the relationship between them becomes
a series of exciting intellectual adventures.",

first got a summer job at MIT's Project MAC almost 30
years ago, I was delighted to be able to work with the
DEC PDP-10 computer, which was more fun to program in
assembly language than any other computer, bar none,
because of its rich yet tractable set of instructions
for performing bit tests, bit masking, field
manipulation, and operations on integers. Though the
PDP-10 has not been manufactured for quite some years,
there remains a thriving cult of enthusiasts who keep
old PDP-10 hardware running and who run old PDP-10
software---entire operating systems and their
applications---by using personal computers to simulate
the PDP-10 instruction set.''",

intentional errors, and unintentional errors using data
analytics. Despite the quantitative and computing bias,
the book will still be interesting to read with
interesting vignettes and illustrations. Most chapters
will be understandable by accountants and auditors that
usually are lacking in the rigors of mathematics and
statistics. The data interrogation methods are based on
