[FRIAM] Benford's Law

[Tom Johnson]

Wondering if any listers have used Benford's Law for analytic purposes, or any other, for that matter.  If so, I would appreciate your annecdotes related to questions asked, data used, outcomes, etc.

See http://www.rexswain.com/benford.html

To change something, build a new model that makes the
existing model obsolete."
