Anatomy of the Generalized Inverse Gaussian-Poisson Distribution with Special Applications to Bibliometric Studies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sichel, H. S. – Information Processing and Management, 1992
Discusses the use of the generalized inverse Gaussian-Poisson (GIGP) distribution in bibliometric studies. The main types of size-frequency distributions are described, bibliometric distributions in logarithms are examined; parameter estimation is discussed; and goodness-of-fit tests are considered. Examples of applications are included. (17…

The Maximal Value of a Zipf Size Variable: Sampling Properties and Relationship to Other Parameters.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tague, Jean; Nicholls, Paul – Information Processing and Management, 1987
Examines relationships among the parameters of the Zipf size-frequency distribution as well as its sampling properties. Highlights include its importance in bibliometrics, tables for the sampling distribution of the maximal value of a finite Zipf distribution, and an approximation formula for confidence intervals.
