What is Power Law?

Power Law Distribution refers to the frequency or probability of a physical quantity value being inversely proportional to the power of its size. It is very common in nature and sociology, for example:

Long Tail Effect: A few popular products account for most sales, while a large number of unpopular products occupy the long tail.
Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule): 80% of wealth is held by 20% of people.
Zipf's Law: In a natural language corpus, the frequency of a word is inversely proportional to its rank in the frequency table.
