CdfPareto Method
Evaluates the Pareto cumulative probability distribution function.

Namespace: Imsl.Stat
Assembly: ImslCS (in ImslCS.dll) Version: 6.5.2.0
Syntax
public static double Pareto(
	double x,
	double xm,
	double k
)

Parameters

x
Type: SystemDouble
A double scalar value representing the argument at which the function is to be evaluated.
xm
Type: SystemDouble
A double scalar value representing the scale parameter, x_m.
k
Type: SystemDouble
A double scalar value representing the shape parameter, k.

Return Value

Type: Double
A double scalar value representing the probability that a Pareto random variable takes a value less than or equal to x.
Remarks
Method Cdf.Pareto evaluates the distribution function, F, of a Pareto random variable with scale parameter x_m
            and shape parameter k. It is given by
F(x,x_m,k)=1-\left(\frac{x_m}{x}\right)^{
            k}
where x_m>0 and k>0. The function is only defined for x\geq x_m.
