my question might be a bit basic as I am a beginner. </div>

"alpha" in many articles to describe popularity pattern in
the zipfmandelbrot app. However, there is "s" and
"q" parameters only in the source code of zipfmandelbrot. Which
one of them represents alpha? and is there any realistic values of
"s" and "q" to represent a real or near real traffic
pattern?</div>
