similar to: random draw from a RESTRICTED pareto distribution

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]]

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 Pareto distribution has density f(y) = s (1 + y/(m

Some background: I have some data on structural dependencies in a base of code artifacts. The dependency structure is reflected in terms of relative node degrees, with each node representing some code unit (just as an example). This gives me real data of the following form (sorry for the longish posting): dat1 <- c(0.00245098039215686, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.0563725490196078, 0, 0, 0,

Dear All, I would like to report a possible mistake in the generic function rzigp in ZIGP package, and seek for help. Yesterday I tried the "rzigp" function, in this way: 1. generate poisson means from a pareto distribuion, 2. generate dispersion for each poisson from gamma distribution 3. generate ratios between poisson means from uniform 4. generate dispersed poisson counts by

Hi, I am exploring GUI's for doing Quality Management/Assurance/Improvement activities and this is another mail in series!

Dear All I am trying to replicate a numerical application (not computed on R) from an article. Using, ks.test() I computed the exact D value shown in the article but the p-values I obtain are quite different from the one shown in the article. The tests are performed on a sample of 37 values (please see "[0] DATA" below) for truncated Exponential, Pareto and truncated LogNormal

Dear all: First, apologies for cross-posting multiplicities and for a query 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?

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

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), col="red") y

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]]

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:

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") fitted(fit) The result is fitted(fit) [,1] [1,] 0.07752694

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 some advice on how to define the formula. Many thanks -- View this

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

Dear All, I am trying to fit some data to a Pareto distribution and would like to estimate the parameters with the fitting. I have come across some options so far. Unfortunately I haven't managed to get any of them to make the right fits (as is evident when I check with the goodness of fit). One such option is: library(VGAM) b1 <- read.table(file("FitPareto_Values.txt",

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?

Dear R-users, I am trying to fit pareto distribution to some data but i've one problem. Using optim to calculate the maximum of the likelihood function of the pareto I use as start parameters the moments method(using the distribution function in the package actuar): media=mean(x) var=mean(x^2)-media^2 scale=2*var/(var-media^2) shape=(scale-1)*media

Dear R users, the first 1.0 version of the rPref package is now on CRAN. rPref allows to select the Pareto-optimal tuples from a data set, also called Skylines in the database community. For example, optimal tuples from mtcars according to "high(mpg) * high(hp)" (where "*" is the Pareto operator) are those cars, for which no other dominating car exists. There, a car

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",
