Abstract: A random variable is Benford distributed if the occurrence frequency of its most significant digit is P(d) = log10(1 + 1/d). Many empirical data sets obey this law with various degrees of accuracy .In this paper we analyze random variables X such that Y = 10X satisfies Benford's law exactly. We introduce a family of transformations on X that leave the digit distribution of Y invariant. Thus we identify new conditions for exact Benford conformance,and construct novel examples of such random variables. The Mathematica simulations strongly support our theoretical results.
