Benford's Law

Post by ray.wurlod »

At this site someone has taken the trouble to explain Benford's Law.

It may have some application in surrogate key distribution under partitioning, but I doubt it.

Interesting. For the curious but easily offended, be aware of this subtitle:

"Crazy math s**t to freak you out, and swear words to hold your attention"

Without the stars, of course. :wink:

I try. :wink:

Wasn't sure... it was more of a "just in case" kind of thing. Or maybe like where you'd put a NSFW tag on a posting in other venues.
