초록

인터넷 상의 웹페이지에 나타나는 숫자들의 빈도수를 조사한 후 이러한 숫자들이 이루는 집합체의 성질을 알아보고 이러한 자료들이 각 종 법칙들(거듭곱 법칙, 지프 법칙, 벤포드 법칙)이 성립하는 지를 살펴보았다.

Using the information about the frequency of occurrence of numbers in WWW, we can find properties of the array of numbers and validate whether this array satisfies the several laws(Power law, Zipf's law, Benford's law).
