Notes. Values of the deviation parameter Q and the Zipf’s exponent γ for all the rank-size plots shown in Fig. 1. We also report the minimum value of Q, denoted by Qmin, at 95% confidence. Since all Qmin are very close to zero, all samples are compatible with a power law with an intrinsic upper cutoff much larger than the observed maximum.
