Concentration and diversity of availability and use in information systems: A positive reinforcement model

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1992, vol. 43, issue 5, 391-395

Abstract: A mathematical model is proposed to explain the observed concentration (or diversity) in two distributions of nominal classes. We tentatively pose that the model is valid when: (1) there is a cause‐effect relationship between the items in the distributions under consideration; and (2) there is a positive reinforcement between the occurrence of items in the second and in the first distribution. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
