Installation/Usage:

pip install -U benfords-law

Run simple test of Benford’s Law on random numbers

"""This example shows the application of Benford's Law on a dataset of random numbers.
Since the numbers are exactly random, our expectation is that this dataset will not visually
conform to Benford's Law and will fail the Chi-Squared Goodness of Fit test.
"""

import numpy as np
from benfords_law import BenfordsLaw

# initialize array with random numbers that will fail Benford's Law
data = np.random.randint(low=100, high=1000000, size=1000)
benfords = BenfordsLaw(data)
benfords.apply_benfords_law()
