BENFORD ANALSYSIS<br />
FIG 25. VOTO SOCIAL – User Interface<br />
The Benford test applied to the 1 st digit is used to validate a<br />
population and numbers and detect anomalies and potential<br />
fabrication of information. This test was used in financial<br />
systems and is also used to detect voting fraud. The Test<br />
follows the “Benford Law’ distribution where each digit<br />
probability is Log(N)-Log(N-1). The computation is quite<br />
simple and requires the use of the command LEFT using<br />
“LEFT (cell_id, 1))” and applying the frequency counter<br />
with l “COUNTIF(range, id of integer)”.<br />
