Pareto

Pareto Distribution


Description

These functions provide information about the Pareto distribution with location parameter equal to m and dispersion equal to s: density, cumulative distribution, quantiles, log hazard, and random generation.

The Pareto distribution has density

f(y) = s (1 + y/(m (s-1)))^(-s-1)/(m (s-1))

where m is the mean parameter of the distribution and s is the dispersion.

This distribution can be obtained as a mixture distribution from the exponential distribution using a gamma mixing distribution.

Usage

dpareto(y, m, s, log=FALSE)
ppareto(q, m, s)
qpareto(p, m, s)
rpareto(n, m, s)

Arguments

y

vector of responses.

q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities

n

number of values to generate

m

vector of location parameters.

s

vector of dispersion parameters.

log

if TRUE, log probabilities are supplied.
