Ocean West Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 So I watched a documentary on the Newcomb- Benford’s law and I was curious what practical application it could have on datasets contained within our files? Would any thing meaningful be derived from say comparing how long sales people are on the phone in a given month or number of calls they made or sales amounts or number of sales?
