Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

shape

shape parameter \(\alpha\), must be positive.

rate

rate parameter \(\lambda\), must be positive.

scale

alternative parameterization to the rate parameter, scale = 1 / rate.

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are \(P[X \le x]\), otherwise, \(P[X > x]\).

k

kth-moment.

d

cut-off value.

less.than.d

logical; if TRUE (default) truncated mean for values <= d, otherwise, for values > d.

kap

probability.

Value

Function :

  • dPareto gives the probability density function (PDF).

  • pPareto gives the cumulative density function (CDF).

  • expValPareto gives the expected value.

  • varPareto gives the variance.

  • kthMomentPareto gives the kth moment.

  • expValLimPareto gives the limited mean.

  • expValTruncPareto gives the truncated mean.

  • stopLossPareto gives the stop-loss.

  • meanExcessPareto gives the mean excess loss.

  • VatRPareto gives the Value-at-Risk.

  • TVatRPareto gives the Tail Value-at-Risk.

Invalid parameter values will return an error detailing which parameter is problematic.

Details

The Pareto distribution with rate parameter \(\lambda\) as well as shape parameter \(\alpha\) has density: $$f\left(x\right) = \frac{\alpha\lambda^{\alpha}}% {(\lambda + x)^{\alpha + 1}}$$ for \(x \in \mathcal{R}^+\), \(\alpha, \lambda > 0\).
