(Psychophysics) the concept that the magnitude of a subjective sensation increases proportional to a power of the stimulus intensity.
1Perhaps the power law fits are not quite as unique as we might expect.
2The off-critical and critical behavior is characterized, with both power law and logarithmic divergencies.
3Pretty much every human skill follows a power law, with different powers for different skills.
4This leads to exponential tumor growth in lung and power law tumor growth in breast.
5At the time, none of the existing models of practice could explain the power law.
6This study presents the first evidence that bouts of sedentary activity are power law distributed.
7It is defined as a power law decay in the correlations between pitch over time.
8Random copying generates a straight line " power law" distribution, whereas conformity does not.
9This is done to test the predictions for power law tails, obtained from mode coupling theory.
10The mobility was found to follow a power law with the field intensity beyond a certain threshold.
11This type of curve is called a power law, because performance varies as time raised to some negative power.
12The analysis of the speed-curvature power law parameters showed consistent modulations of the speed gain factor, while the exponent remained stable.
13In 1979, Allen Newell and Paul Rosenbloom started wondering what could be the reason for this socalled power law of practice.
