ParetoCapDist: Generating a Pareto Capital Distribution

Description Usage Arguments Details Value References See Also Examples

Description

The function ParetoCapDist is used to generate a capital-distribution object which follows a Pareto distribution with user-defined slope parameter.

Usage

1
ParetoCapDist(n, index = 1)

Arguments

n

the number of assets.

index

a positive number. The slope of the capital distribution curve (i.e., the log-log curve of market weights against ranks) is -index.

Details

A capital distribution is said to follow a Pareto distribution if the log-log curve of market weights against ranks is linear. This function creates a hypothetitical market distribution given the slope of the curve.

Value

a capdist object.
