Mathematical Models of Information System Use.

Peer reviewed

Hayes, Robert M.; Borko, Harold – Information Processing and Management, 1983

Presents results from study of mathematical models (Cobb-Douglas model, mixture of Poissons, inverse effects of distance, weighted entropy) relating to usage of information systems, and notes papers developed during study which provide three types of analysis--literature reviews, analytical studies, and tests of models. Six references are…

The Simon-Yule Approach to Bibliometric Modeling.

Peer reviewed

Chen, Ye-Sho; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1994

Investigates the relationships between the parameters of the Simon-Yule model and the shapes of three bibliometric distributions: Lotka's Law of Scientific Productivity; Bradford's Law of Bibliometric Scattering; and Zipf's Law of Word Frequency. The results indicate that the probability of a new entry determines the characteristics of all three…
