• A Brief History of Generative Models for Power Law and Lognormal Distributions (2004, background): “Similar issues continue to arise in biology [31], chemistry [53], ecology [3, 65], astronomy [66], and information theory [40, 56].”
• Strong and weak tests of macroecological theory (2003, background): “There are also deep CLT-like statistical reasons for why we might find a power distribution ( Simon 1955, Mandelbrot 1963, Bak et al. 1987, West and Shlesinger 1989, Dewdney 2000, Allen et al. 2001, Bianconi and Barabasi 2001).”
