Results of power analysis for site-area (continuous) data.

<p>The analysis shows that given the sample sizes and MLE model-parameter values, (a) the probability of failing to identify power-law structure when power-law structure is present (type II error) is unlikely and (b) the probability of spuriously identifying power-law structure given normal, exponential, or lognormal data (type I error) is also unlikely.
