DESCRIPTION:
 COLLOQUIUM - AYAN BHATTACHARYA\n
 \n
 Ayan Bhattacharya, 
 Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, 
 will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The presentation title 
 is "Consistency of the PLFit Estimator for Power-law 
 Data."\n
 \n
 We prove the consistency of 
 the Power-Law Fit PLFit method proposed by Clauset 
 et al.(2009) to estimate the power-law 
 exponent in data coming from a distribution 
 function with regularly-varying tail. In the 
 complex systems community, PLFit has emerged 
 as the method of choice to estimate the power-law 
 exponent. Yet, its mathematical properties 
 are still poorly understood.\n\n
