est_params_paretoR Documentation

Estimate the shape and location parameters of the pareto distribution from which the sample data were taken.

Description

Given a data frame and the name of a continuous variable from the data frame, suppose the CCDF of the variable on a log10-log10 scale is linear, then its distribution can be modeled by the pareto distribution, of which the shape and location parameters can be estimated by this function.

Usage

est_params_pareto(df, varname, digits = 3)

Arguments

df

A data frame.

varname.

String, name of a continuous variable with an empirical distribution approximately pareto.

digits.

Integer, the number of digits after decimal point to keep for the estimated parameter values.

Value

Estimates of the shape and location parameters of a theoretical pareto distribution.

Examples

library(ezplot)
est_params_pareto(pops, 'pop', digits = 2)
