(Thank you Martin for posting the link.) However a question springs to mind: why is it the case that Trump's vote counts in Chicago *do* seem to follow Benford's law (at least roughly) when, as is apparently to be expected, Biden's don't? Has anyone any explanation for this? Any ideas? cheers, Rolf Turner -- Honorary Research Fellow Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
