Detailed Description

The Pareto distribution Random Number Generator (RNG).

This class supports the creation of objects that return random numbers from a fixed Pareto distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various Pareto distributions.

The probability density function of a Pareto variable is defined over the range [ $x_m$, $+\infty$) as: $ k \frac{x_m^k}{x^{k+1}}$ where $x_m > 0$ is called the scale parameter and $ k > 0$ is called the Pareto index or shape.

The parameter $ x_m $ can be inferred from the mean and the parameter $ k $ with the equation $ x_m = mean \frac{k-1}{k}, k > 1$.

Since Pareto distributions can theoretically return unbounded values, it is sometimes useful to specify a fixed upper limit. Note however when the upper limit is specified, the true mean of the distribution is slightly smaller than the mean value specified.

Here is an example of how to use this class:

double scale = 5.0;
double shape = 2.0;
Ptr<ParetoRandomVariable> x = CreateObject<ParetoRandomVariable> ();
x->SetAttribute ("Scale", DoubleValue (scale));
x->SetAttribute ("Shape", DoubleValue (shape));
// The expected value for the mean of the values returned by a
// Pareto distributed random variable is
//
// shape * scale
// E[value] = --------------- ,
// shape - 1
double value = x->GetValue ();
@ value
