Abstract: It was proved by Jang et al. that various chains of one-parameter distributions converge to Benford’s law. We study chains of truncated distributions and propose another approach, using a recent convergence result of the Lerch transcendent function, to proving that they converge to Benford’s law for initial Beta distributions with parameters α and 1.
