Fuzzy techniques explain empirical power law governing wars and terrorist attacks
© 2017 IEEE. The empirical distribution of the number of casualties in wars and terrorist attacks follows a power law with exponent 2.5. So far, there has not been a convincing explanation for this empirical fact. In this paper, we show that by using fuzzy techniques, we can explain this exponent. I...

The empirical distribution of the number of casualties in wars and terrorist attacks follows a power law with exponent 2.5. So far, there has not been a convincing explanation for this empirical fact. In this paper, we show that by using fuzzy techniques, we can explain this exponent. Interesting, we can also get a similar explanation if we use probabilistic techniques. The fact that two different techniques lead to the same explanation makes us reasonably confident that this explanation is correct. 2018-09-05T03:34:31Z 2018-09-05T03:34:31Z 2017-08-30 Conference Proceeding 2-s2.0-85030850849 10.1109/IFSA-SCIS.2017.8023330 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85030850849&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/57067 |
