- Function Pareto(Shape, Location, Scale)¶
Pareto¶
The function Pareto
draws a random value from a Pareto distribution.
Pareto(
Shape, ! (input) numerical expression
Location, ! (optional) numerical expression
Scale ! (optional) numerical expression
)
Arguments¶
- Shape
A scalar numerical expression \(> 0\).
- Location
A scalar numerical expression.
- Scale
A scalar numerical expression \(> 0\).
Return Value¶
The function
Pareto
returns a random value drawn from a Pareto distribution with shape Shape, location Location and scale Scale.
Note
The prototype of this function has changed with the introduction of
AIMMS 3.4. In order to run models that still use the original prototype,
the option Distribution_compatibility
should be set to
Aimms_3_0
. The original function Pareto
(s, beta) returns a
random value drawn from a Pareto distribution with shape beta,
location \(0\) and scale s.

distribution is discussed in full detail in Discrete Distributions of
