Dear All, I am trying to generate some Pareto random variates using the inverse method. This is really straightfoward and my R function looks as below : pareto <- function(c, a, cnt=1000) { u <- runif(cnt) x <- (c / ((u ^ (1 / a)))) mean.theo <- ((c * a) / (a - 1)) mean.gen <- mean(x) cat('Pareto mean : theoritical...

Hello all, I would like to plot the emperical CDF, normal CDF and pareto CDF in the same graph and I amusing the following codes. "z" is a vector and I just need the part when z between 1.6 and 3. plot(ecdf(z), do.points=FALSE, verticals=TRUE, xlim=c(1.6,3),ylim=c(1-sum(z>1.6)/length(z), 1)) x <- seq(1.6, 3, 0.1) lines(x,pgpd(x, 1.544,0.4373,-0.2398),...

Dear R user, I am a newcomer and need help concerning 'draw a random number for a restricted area of a prareto distribution'. (1) For estimation of pareto distribution: >http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/27426/how-do-i-fit-a-set-of-data-to-a-pareto-distribution-in-r< We calculate the pareto distribution (parameter estimation) as follows: pareto.MLE <- function(X) { n <- length(X) m <- min(X) a &l...

Hi, guys, I need to simulate Pareto distribution. But I found 'rpareto' didn't exist in R. And it seems that Pareto distribution don't have mathematical relationships with other distributions. What can I do? Thanks a lot. Ni --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I am trying to simulate from truncated Pareto distribution. I know there is a package called PtProcess for Pareto distribution...but it is not for truncated one. Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks in advance. Cassie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution, it is clear what the parameters are for the pareto distribution: *xmin *the scale parameter and *a* the shape parameter. I am using rmutil to generate random deviates from a pareto distribution. It says in the documentation that the probabilty density of the pareto distribution The...

Hello all This is my first posting for some years. I am back using R again and must say I do like the language (regarding scripting, I also use matlab, perl, and bash). My question involves plotting a Pareto frontier in three dimensions. This is strictly a exercise in visualization, I make no attempt to extract the Pareto set (aka dominating subset) first. EXAMPLE PLOTS For some example plots, please see: http://www.iet.tu-berlin.de/~morrison/rhelp/pareto-static.png http://www.iet.tu-berlin.de/...

Hi, I would like to use the following codes to plot the CDF for pareto distribution. Before doing this, I have plot the emperical one. x <- seq(1.6, 3, 0.1) lines(x,pgpd(x, 1.544,0.4477557,), col="red") Could anyone give me some advice whether the above codes are correct? Many thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/CDF-for-p...

...ry that is more analytically related than S-language related. The bottom-line wish is: Could you please provide and advice, references, etc on S software approaches for fitting a distribution with density: p*g(x) + (1-p)*f(x) where g(x) is the familiar lognormal 2-parameter density and f(x) is Pareto as defined below? Here is the lengthier story: I am collaborating with a scientific colleague who has constructed a database of binding assay data, namely EC/IC50's across a wide variety of chemical entities and experimental conditions. Among other things, he has an interest in characterizing...

I would like to fit a Pareto Distribution and I am using the following codes. I thought the fitted (fit1) should be the fitted value for the data, is it correct? As the result of the "fitted" turns out to be a single value for all. fit=vglm(ycf1 ~ 1, pareto1(location=alpha), trace=TRUE, crit="c") fitte...

I would like to fit a Pareto Distribution and I am using the following codes fit=vglm(ycf1 ~ 1, pareto1(location=alpha), trace=TRUE, crit="c") fitted(fit) But the fitted values turn out to be the same for each observation. I guess the problem is with "ycf1 ~ 1", I would be grateful if anyone can give me...

Hello Well I am relatively new so some of these issues may not fall under the subject that I have used. 1. How do I do a Pareto. Following is the approach I took.

Hi- Is there a quick way to plot a Pareto diagram? I couldn't find one. I'm being forced to do some pretty weird stuff, with awk and all, to extract data in order to plot the frequency of qualitative data from a larger set. Perhaps it's just my GNUrance. I mean, one day, if I have time, I might even write a generic Perl scr...

Dear R users, Could you please help me out. I am in trouble as I am unable to model graphs to explain the GARCH (1 , 1) model, the Hill estimator (of alpha), and the Pareto estimator. I just got introduce to R. I am working on a paper which must be worked from R. You look at the difficulty I had from the text below.

Dear R helpers, I need to use KS and AD test for Generalized Pareto and Generalized extreme value. E.g. if I need to use KS for Weibull, I have teh syntax ks.test(x.wei,"pweibull", shape=2,scale=1) Similarly, for AD I use ad.test(x, distr.fun, ...) My problem is fir given data, I have estimated the parameters of GPD and GEV using lmom. But I am not a...

Hi all I have a large dataframe with (among others) a categorical variable of 52 levels and would like to create a barplot with the bars ordered in decreasing frequency of the levels. I belive it is referred to as a pareto plot. Consider a subset where I keep only the categorical variable in question. # Example: v1 = c("aa", "cc", "bb", "bb", "cc", "bb") df = data.frame(v1=v1) # How can I tell ggplot to sort the bars? # First bar = "bb" (...

...for the first dataset i.e. dataset-A being 5,000$ to 100,000$ and the dataset-B deals with the losses exceeding 100,000$ i.e. dataset-B is left truncated. I need to fit truncated normal disribution to dataset - I having lower bound of 5000 and upper bound of 100,000. While I need to fit truncated Pareto for the lossess exceeding 100,000$. Is there any package in R which will guide me to fit these two distrubitions also giving KS (Kolmogorov Smirnov) test and Anderson Darling test results. Please guide Julia ************************************************ Only a man of Worth sees Worth in...

Hello all, I am trying to estimate the cumulative distribution function for a single stock return time series. A piecewise estimation is composed of three parts: parametric generalized Pareto (GP) for the lower tail (10% of the observation), non-parametric kernel-smoothed interior (80% of the observations), and GP for the upper tail (10%). I wonder if anyone has clue about this in R. The software of Matlab has a function called 'paretotails' in the Econometrics Toolbox to do th...

I would like to fit a Pareto Distribution and I am using the following codes. First, I thought the fitted (fit1) should be the fitted value for the data, is it correct?
