论文摘要
我们检查了脉冲星的分散度度量和快速无线电爆发（使用钟表目录）的第一个重要数字是否与本福德分布一致。我们发现与本福德定律有着很大的分歧，$χ^2 $接近80，对于这两个上述数据集来说，自由度为8度。这对应于约7 $σ$的差异。因此，我们得出的结论是，脉冲星和FRB的分散措施不遵守本福德的法律。
We check if the first significant digit of the dispersion measure of pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts (using the CHIME catalog) is consistent with the Benford distribution. We find a large disagreement with Benford's law with $χ^2$ close to 80 for 8 degrees of freedom for both these aforementioned datasets. This corresponds to a discrepancy of about 7$σ$. Therefore, we conclude that the dispersion measures of pulsars and FRBs do not obey Benford's law.
