Bradford Curves.
Rousseau, Ronald
Information Processing and Management, v30 n2 p267-77 Mar-Apr 1994
Discussion of informetric distributions shows that generalized Leimkuhler functions give proper fits to a large variety of Bradford curves, including those exhibiting a Groos droop or a rising tail. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is used to test goodness of fit, and least-square fits are compared with Egghe's method. (Contains 53 references.) (LRW)
