Generalized Success-Breeds-Success Principle Leading to Time-Dependent Informetric Distributions.

Egghe, Leo; Rousseau, Ronald

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v46 n6 p426-45 Jul 1995

Reformulates the success-breeds-success (SBS) principle in informetrics in order to generate a general theory of source-item relationships. Topics include a time-dependent probability, a new model for the expected probability that is compared with the SBS principle with exact combinatorial calculations, classical frequency distributions, and proofs.
