An alternative method to test scale invariance.

ABSTRACT: We introduce an alternative method that is simple and can be used to test scale invariance or self-similarity in any types of data, irrespective of their distributions. Our method is based on estimating the Lorenz curve and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. This alternative method could be used as a preliminary screening before investigating further which types of distributions would fit the actual observations.•We introduce a simple method to test scale invariance, regardless of data distributions.•Our method is based on estimating the Lorenz curve and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.•This alternative method could serve as an initial screening before investigating further which types of distributions would fit the actual data.
