The Normal-Laplace Distribution and Its Relatives (2006, methodology): “However the name 'double Pareto-lognormal' (which was coined because the distribution results from the product of double Pareto and lognormal components) has already been used (Reed & Jorgensen, 2004).”
A framework for quantitative analysis of cascades on networks (2010, methodology): “The quantitative framework for analyzing cascades that we present here is very scalable and can be easily used to provide a eﬃcient compressed representation of large cascades, when storing the complete information of the entire cascade is no longer trivial.”
Size distributions for all cities: Which one is best? (2013, background): “However, the log-likelihood functions to be maximised are easy to find: see Reed and Jorgensen (2004) for the dPln and Shalizi (2007) for the qe.”
Generating Statistically Correct Random Topologies for Testing Smart Grid Communication and Control Networks (2010, methodology): “The DPLN distribution was introduced by Reed and Jorgensen [13], which proved to be very useful to model the size distributions of various phenomena, like incomes and earnings,”
Skewness and kurtosis properties of income distribution models (2013, background): “…distributional distribution which have desirable properties and provide an excellent fit to empirical data (Kleiber and Kotz, 2003; Reed and Jorgensen, 2004; Reed and Wu, 2008), have been recently explored; the focus of this paper will be restricted to the GB1 and GB2 and its…”
City Age and City Size (2014, methodology): “Our suggested functional form for the overall CSD is the DPLN distribution, which has been first introduced by Reed (2002) and is further discussed by Reed and Jorgensen (2005).”
Surge Pricing Solves the Wild Goose Chase (2017, unknown): “We assume that willingness to pay has a double Pareto lognormal (Reed, 2003; Reed and Jorgensen, 2004) distribution with parameters α = 3, β = 1.”
Social dynamics of Digg (2010, unknown): “, a double-Pareto lognormal distribution [11].”
