Popis: We study the approach to scaling in a relativistic quark model which we have used previously to fit the experimental data for the structure function [Formula: see text] (for all x) and for [Formula: see text] (for x > 0.4). We present values for these structure functions calculated in our model and also present an analytic form which provides a good fit to the numerical results. Our model supports one form of the power-law corrections suggested in the literature. [We reproduce the sign and magnitude of the parameter which appears in a phenomenological form used in a recent analysis made by the BEBC Collaboration. Our results are also consistent with a recent BCDMS Collaboration analysis which finds no need for "higher-twist" terms for Q2 > 20 (Gev) 2.] We also discuss certain complications which may arise when one attempts to study "higher-twist" behavior at both small and large x with a single sign for the phenomenological power-law correction term. (In particular, we predict a change in sign of the power-law correction to scaling between x = 0.65 and x = 0.7.) In addition, we calculate R(x, Q2) and find a good fit to the experimental data using the same parameters which were used in our fits to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].
