Для каждого массива определяются частоты появления каждой из возможных цифр в первом разряде и во втором разряде элементов массива. Несколькими способами вычисляются «расстояния» от полученных эмпирических частот до теоретических частот закона Бенфорда. На множестве точек, координатами которых являются вычисленные расстояния, осуществляется кластерный анализ, разбивающий массивы на две группы, характеризующиеся различной степенью «близости» к закону Бенфорда. Результаты кластерного анализа используются для обучения классификатора на основе логистической регрессии, который в дальнейшем применяется для прогнозирования наличия (или отсутствия) искажений в финансовой отчетности, получаемой от новых компаний.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>   A set of numerical arrays is considered, each of which describes the economic activities of some companies. For each array, the frequencies of occurrence of each of the possible digits in the first digit and in the second digit of the array elements are determined. The "distances" from the obtained empirical frequencies to the theoretical frequencies of Benford's law are calculated in several ways. Cluster analysis is performed on a set of points whose coordinates are calculated distances, dividing arrays into two groups characterized by varying degrees of "proximity" to Benford's law. The results of cluster analysis are used to train a classifier based on logistic regression, which is then used to predict the presence (or absence) of distortions in financial statements received from new companies.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>закон Бенфорда</kwd><kwd>фальсификация отчетности</kwd><kwd>кластерный анализ</kwd><kwd>логистическая регрессия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Benford's law</kwd><kwd>falsification of reports</kwd><kwd>cluster analysis</kwd><kwd>logistic regression</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Кечкова И.
