Actinide compounds with 5f electrons have been attracting much attention because of their interesting magnetic and electronic properties such as heavy fermion state, unconventional superconductivity, co-existence of the superconductivity and magnetism. Recently, we have reported a phenomenological analysis on 80 actinide ferromagnets with the spin fluctuation theory originally developed to explain the ferromagnetic properties of itinerant ferromagnets in the 3d transition metals and their intermetallics (N. Tateiwa et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 035125 (2017)). Our study suggests the itinerancy of the $5f$ electrons in most of the actinide ferromagnets and the applicability of the spin fluctuation theory to actinide 5f system. In this paper, we present a new analysis for the spin fluctuation parameter obtained with a different theoretical formula not used in the reference. We also discuss the results of the analysis from different points of views.
