Fitts’s Law: Towards a Geometric Explanation
In designing human-computer interfaces, designers use an empirical Fitts’s Law, according to which the average time T of accessing an icon of size w at a distance d from the center of the screen is proportional to the logarithm of the ratio w/d. There exist explanations for this law, but these explanations have gaps. In this paper, we show that these gaps can be explained if we analyze this pro...
متن کاملA Universal Rank-Size Law
A mere hyperbolic law, like the Zipf's law power function, is often inadequate to describe rank-size relationships. An alternative theoretical distribution is proposed based on theoretical physics arguments starting from the Yule-Simon distribution. A modeling is proposed leading to a universal form. A theoretical suggestion for the "best (or optimal) distribution", is provided through an entro...
متن کاملZipf’s Law and 7± 2 Principle Lead to a Possible Explanation of Daniel’s Law
In 1961, D. R. Daniel observed that the success of a company is usually determined by three to six major factors. This observation has led to many successful management ideas, but they leave one puzzled: why three to six? why not two or seven? In this paper, we provide a possible explanation to this puzzle; namely, we show that these numbers of factors can be derived from Zipf’s Law and from th...

Benford’s Law: An Empirical Investigation and a Novel Explanation
This report describes an investigation into Benford’s Law for the distribution of leading digits in real data sets. A large number of such data sets have been examined and it was found that only a small fraction of them conform to the law. Three classes of mathematical model of processes that might account for such a leading digit distribution have also been investigated. We found that based on...
