Dynamics of the time-varying first-digit probability <i>p</i>_<i>t</i>.

Abstract

Time-varying first-digit probability for digits 1 to 9 (p1,t, …, p9,t) are presented from top left to bottom right. The chart further includes the posterior mean (solid line) and 95% credible bands (shaded areas) of pd,t, the sample empirical distribution (point), and Benford’s distribution (dashed line).</p
