This short 4:40 video is an introduction to Benford’s Law. The video was recorded at the Drake Hotel in Chicago on 21 May 2014. The video was recorded during the North America IDEA User Conference where I presented a preconference session and a general session. The video was edited. At 0:48 I am talking about Benford’s data, Benford’s study, and Benford’s results. The slide shown is the expected proportions of Benford’s Law. At 1:08 I am referring to the Benford’s Law expected results and my statement was that from the third digit onwards the ten digits are “for all practical purposes equally likely.” The video has been posted in the Benford’s Law playlist in my YouTube and can be seen by clicking here.
