In particular, we analyse the sales dynamic and fluctuation level underlying the sales time series in different channels. The accumulative daily sales distributions of commodities are analysed statistically and the daily sales series are also studied from the perspective of complex networks. We find that most of the commodities' accumulative sales distributions can be fitted by power-law distributions. Visibility graphs are constructed for the daily sales series, and the accumulative degree distributions are also investigated \u2013 it is found that they also almost follow power-law distribution. The constant parameter \u03b1 indicates that different specifications of the same goods have different sales characteristics, and different forms of packaging of commodities, either special offer or ordinary, also show distinctive sales fluctuation levels. The differences show that the direction of these relationships is opposite for online and offline channels.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0960129512000503","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,4]],"date-time":"2014-09-04T20:08:51Z","timestamp":1409861331000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An empirical comparison of sales time series for online and offline channels for commodities in China"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"JINLONG","family":"WANG","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"CAN","family":"WEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"XIAOYI","family":"WANG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0167-8116(00)00005-7"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.96.238701"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0709247105"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0167-8116(03)00016-8"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/mksc.19.1.83.15183"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-02469-6_84"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.intmar.2010.07.004"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref12","volume-title":"Univariate discrete distributions","author":"Johnson","year":"1992"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/5224"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/mksc.1070.0288"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1137\/070710111"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref2","first-page":"4972","article-title":"Networks theory and applications","volume":"105","author":"Chen","year":"2008","journal-title":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.physa.2010.09.033"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1504\/IJIMA.2004.003689"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref9","first-page":"255","article-title":"Problems with fitting to the power-law distribution","volume":"41","author":"Goldstein","year":"2004","journal-title":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.93.228701"},{"key":"S0960129512000503_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Pozzi A.
