Zipf's Law

Zipf’s Law or the “Principle of Least Effort” states that in a given dataset, the frequency of any item is inversely proportional to its rank in the frequency table. This means that a few items are very common, while many items are rare. It highlights the uneven distribution of resources or phenomena in various fields, including linguistics, economics, and information theory.
