Methods

IconTypeDescription
DistributionFunction(Double)
Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of this distribution for the specified value.
Equals(Object)
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
Finalize()
Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
GetExpectedHistogram(Double[](), Double)
Gets a Histogram whose bins contain the expected number of samples for a given total number of samples.
GetExpectedHistogram(Double, Double, Int32, Double)
Gets a Histogram whose bins contain the expected number of samples for a given total number of samples.
GetHashCode()
Serves as a hash function for a particular type.
static memberGetRandomVariate(Random, Double, Double)
Returns a single random variate from a Pareto distribution with the specified parameters.
GetRandomVariate(Random)
Returns a random sample from the distribution.
GetRandomVariates(Random, Vector)
Fills a Vector with random numbers.
GetRandomVariates(Random, Double[]())
Fills a Double array with random numbers.
GetRandomVariates(Random, Double[](), Int32, Int32)
Fills a Double array with random numbers.
GetRandomVariates(Random, Vector, Int32, Int32)
Fills a Double array with random numbers.
GetType()
Gets the Type of the current instance.
InverseDistributionFunction(Double)
Returns the sample value at the specified percentile.
MemberwiseClone()
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
Probability(Double, Double)
Returns the probability that a sample taken from the distribution lies inside the specified interval.
ProbabilityDensityFunction(Double)
Returns the value of the probability density function (PDF) of this distribution for the specified value.
SurvivorDistributionFunction(Double)
Evaluates the survivor distribution function (SDF) of this distribution for the specified value.
ToString()
Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Constructors

IconTypeDescription
ParetoDistributionNew(Double, Double)
Constructs a new ParetoDistribution using the specified shape parameters.

Properties

IconTypeDescription
InterQuartileRange
Returns the inter-quartile range of this distribution.
IsSymmetrical
Gets a value that indicates whether the distribution is known to be symmetrical around the mean.
Kurtosis
Gets the kurtosis of the distribution.
Mean
Gets the mean or expectation value of the distribution.
ScaleParameter
Gets the scale parameter for the distribution.
ShapeParameter
Gets the shape parameter for the distribution.
Skewness
Gets the skewness of the distribution.
StandardDeviation
Gets the standard deviation of the distribution.
Variance
Gets the variance of the distribution.

Remarks

The Pareto distribution is a skewed, heavy-tailed distribution that is sometimes used to model the distribution of incomes.
