Power of 0.42?

Great plot. Just curious where the exponent, "0.42" came from? Did you need to play around with variables to get your stretched exponential to work? If so, I should think a description of that be included. Also, I am of the opinion that all graphics (and charts, plots, etc.) uploaded to Wikipedia (and/or the Commons) should _always_ have a detailed description of how they were made, what data was used (including sources), what program or scripts were used, etc. This is especially true for data that changes over time, as these graphics will need to be updated and the original author might not have the time to update them (or might have forgotten about them, moved on, etc.). --Thorwald (talk) 01:39, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
