Surname statistics - Crossing the boundary between disciplines

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Regarding "Surname distribution in population genetics and in statistical physics" by Rossi, we add comments on the following two points: One is a difference in his renormalization-group formulation from the traditional one in statistical physics despite apparent similarity. The other is the potential importance of the entropy maximization principle under constraints governing the evolution of surname statistics.
