Parameters
- x
- Type: System..::.Double
A double scalar value representing the argument at which the function is to be evaluated.
- xm
- Type: System..::.Double
A double scalar value representing the scale parameter, .
- k
- Type: System..::.Double
A double scalar value representing the shape parameter, .
Return Value
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 and shape parameter k. It is given
by
where and . The
function is only defined for .
