qparetoIII(p, location=0, scale=1, inequality=1)
rparetoIII(n, location=0, scale=1, inequality=1)
dparetoII(x, location=0, scale=1, shape=1, log=FALSE)
pparetoII(q, location=0, scale=1, shape=1)
qparetoII(p, location=0, scale=1, shape=1)
rparetoII(n, location=0, scale=1, shape=1)
dparetoI(x, scale=1, shape=1)
pparetoI(q, scale=1, shape=1)
qparetoI(p, scale=1, shape=1)
rparetoI(n, scale=1, shape=1)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. Must be a single positive integer.

location

the location parameter.

scale, shape, inequality

the (positive) scale, inequality and shape parameters.

log

Logical. If log=TRUE then the logarithm of the density is returned.

Value

• Functions beginning with the letter d give the density, functions beginning with the letter p give the distribution function, functions beginning with the letter q give the quantile function, and functions beginning with the letter r generates random deviates.
