English abstract

The nature of the generalized inverse power distribution by the minimum least squared method is described. A step-by-step application process of this distribution model is offered. To illustrate the application process data collected and studied by Oliveira on Jackfruit literature was used. The generalized inverse power distribution by the minimum least squared method and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to evaluate the fit of the observed and expected data. With n = - 2.14 and C = 0.648715 at 0,01 level of significance, a critical value of 0.202177 with a maximum deviation of 0.151285, was observed. Therefore, the literature fits Lotka’s model.

Describe la naturaleza de la distribución del poder inverso generalizado por el método de los mínimos cuadrados de la regresión lineal. Se describe paso a paso la forma de aplicación del modelo a los datos estudiados por Oliveira sobre la literatura de jaca. El modelo del poder inverso generalizado por el método de los mínimos cuadrados y la prueba Kolmogorov-Smirnov fueron usados para evaluar el ajuste de los datos observados y esperados. Con n = -2.14, C = 0.648515 y al 0.01 nivel de significación, se verificó que el valor crítico fue de 0.202177 con un desvío máximo de 0.151285, por lo tanto, esta literatura se ajusta al modelo de Lotka.
