Cited passages: §II, pp. 4–5, equations (3)–(5), density and survival exponents and fitting caveat; §III.D, pp. 10–11, equations (24)–(28), fraction of a total held by an upper population fraction. Its density exponent is one greater than the positive survival exponent used for the Pareto distribution.
