https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_law Zipf's law (/ˈzɪf/) is an empirical law formulated using mathematical statistics that refers to the fact that many types of data studied in the physical and social sciences can be approximated with a Zipfian distribution, one of a family of related discrete power law probability distributions. Zipf distribution is related to the zeta distribution, but is not identical., (*2)
