is denoted by continuous probability distribution Pareto type-I probability distribution Alejandra Gonzalez-Beltran Orlaith Burke Philippe Rocca-Serra The Pareto distribution is a continuous probability distribution, which is defined by the follwoing probability density (1) function and distribution function (2) (1): P(x)=(ab^a)/(x^(a+1)) (2): D(x)=1-(b/x)^a defined over the interval x>=b. adapter from: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ParetoDistribution.html last accessed: 2015-11-04 http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/r-help/library/LaplacesDemon/html/dist.Pareto.html last accessed: 2015-11-04 Usage >dpareto(x, alpha, log=FALSE) >ppareto(q, alpha) >qpareto(p, alpha) >rpareto(n, alpha) Arguments x,q These are each a vector of quantiles. p This is a vector of probabilities. n This is the number of observations, which must be a positive integer that has length 1. alpha This is the shape parameter alpha, which must be positive. log Logical. If log=TRUE, then the logarithm of the density or result is returned. probability distribution scale parameter ready for release
