pareto: Pareto distribution

In RTMBdist: Distributions Compatible with Automatic Differentiation by 'RTMB'

Pareto distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function, and random generation for the pareto distribution.

Usage

dpareto(x, mu = 1, log = FALSE)

ppareto(q, mu = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qpareto(p, mu = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rpareto(n, mu = 1)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles
mu	location parameter, must be positive.
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities/ densities p are returned as \log(p).
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X \le x], otherwise P[X > x].
p	vector of probabilities
n	number of random values to return

Details

This implementation of dpareto and ppareto allows for automatic differentiation with RTMB while the other functions are imported from gamlss.dist package. See gamlss.dist::PARETO for more details.

Value

dpareto gives the density, ppareto gives the distribution function, qpareto gives the quantile function, and rpareto generates random deviates.
