Abstract

In this paper, continuous random variables are classified, three systems of continuous distributions are constructed, and the principle of the robust method for the calculation of the distribution law (including the rank distribution) and parameter estimates and the generic method of moments are described. Universal laws for the distribution and aging of publications are validated.
