Format: VosePareto2(b, q, U)
Pareto equations (second kind)
This distribution is simply a standard Pareto distribution but shifted along the x-axis so that it starts at x = 0. This is most readily apparent by studying the cumulative distribution functions for the two distributions:
Pareto: |
|
Pareto2: |
|
The only difference between the two equations is that x for the Pareto has been replaced by (x+b) for the Pareto2. In other words:
VosePareto2(b,q) = VosePareto(q,a) - a
where a = b, and q = q
Thus both distributions have the same variance and shape when a = b and q = q, but different means.
A Pareto2 (1/b, a)distribution
describes the time between events where the number of random events occurring
in a unit of time follows a Polya
(a,b)
distribution.
