Taylor's law is an empirical law in ecology that relates the variance of the number of individuals of a species per unit area of habitat to the corresponding mean by a power-law relationship.

If you enjoy analyzing things numerically, you can look at the empirical laws we use to model convective instability-like a Rayleigh-Taylor instability model . talk ) 14 : 46, 28 July 2012 ( UTC)

Mandelbrot discusses an empirical law discovered by Lewis Fry Richardson, who observed that the measured length " L " ( " G " ) of various geographic borders was a function of the measurement scale " G ".

This empirical law-like phenomenon is due to a statistical selection effect that occurs if brands are broadly substitutable selling to much of the same types of people ( often referred to as a lack of Product differentiation and market partitioning ).

:: : Nimur, the friction law is indeed an empirical law as you pointed out ( that doesn't mean it's not physics ! ), but that fact has little bearing on the discussion at hand . talk ) 17 : 58, 13 March 2009 ( UTC)

The first of these golden ages was in the 19th century, when social and physical scientists moved easily back and forth between problems in their respective fields for a time in their quest for empirical laws, until the great edifice of statistical mechanics was erected by James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzman.

Talk of such unobservables could be allowed as metaphorical direct observations viewed in the abstract or at worst metaphysical or emotional . " Theoretical laws " would be reduced to " empirical laws ", while " theoretical terms " would garner meaning from " observational terms " via " correspondence rules ".

"' Zipf's law "'is an empirical law formulated using mathematical statistics that refers to the fact that many types of data studied in the linguist George Kingsley Zipf ( 1902 1950 ), who popularized it and sought to explain it ( Zipf 1935, 1949 ), though he did not claim to have originated it.
