A Bibliometric Distribution Which Really Works.
Sichel, H. S.
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v36 n5 p314-21 Sep 1985
The Generalized Inverse Gaussian-Poisson Distribution is suggested as an all-embracing mathematical model for bibliometric frequency distributions. Twelve examples are given which show that the new model cannot be rejected by virtue of an objective chi-squared test. A mathematical appendix and 20 references are included. (Author/EJS)
