Good question. It depends on on what a "missing value" is here. Is it missing because of an issue in the data collection process or because the event is so rare. In the former case, you'd need to correct the issue on a case by case basis. In the latter case, you'd need to collect more data. Hope that helps!
Hi Shaw, just trying to get my head around PL distributions, let alone Python. However a question re Chapt 6 Example Code: Fitting PL to SMD, viz Medium Followers. Wouldn't Exponential be a better fit given R>3.9/p>.7, against lognorm (ect) R>-12.7/p>.007

very interesting as usual 👍 wondering how does one handle missing values in such cases?

Good question! In this context, smaller p means better fit.
this is great, thank you sm
Glad you liked it :)
It was fascinating 👍But the sound was a bit low.
Thanks 😁 I’ll improve that on the next one
