The Newcomb–Benford law: Scale invariance and a simple Markov process based on it

The Newcomb–Benford law, also known as the first-digit law, gives the probability distribution associated with the first digit of a dataset so that, for example, the first significant digit has a probability of 30.1% of being 1 and 4.58% of being 9. This law can be extended to the second and next si...
