Taylor's power law and fluctuation scaling explained by a central-limit-like convergence.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics - 1 Jun 2011

Kendal Wayne S, Jørgensen Bent

Abstract excerpt

A power function relationship observed between the variance and the mean of many types of biological and physical systems has generated much debate as to its origins. This Taylor's law (or fluctuation scaling) has been recently hypothesized to result from the second law of thermodynamics and the behavior of the density of states. This hypothesis is predicated on physical quantities like free energy and an...
