Scale Invariance


Change variables and use fact that the integral of the distribution is $1$ to give result.

The only scale invariant functions are $B/x$ for any constant $B$

These cannot be distributions on non-negative numbers because the integral on $[0, \infty]$ is '$log(0)$'

We can 'regularise' and integrate from $[a, \infty]$ : on this range $1/(log(a) x)$ is a distribution.

The probabilities are equal to
