rcomppareto {CompPareto}

Generating random number from a discrete composite distribution with Pareto tail

Description

rcomppareto returns a random sample of a composite distribution with a Pareto upper tail, with a specified distribution at the lower tail.

Usage

rcomppareto(n, spec, alpha = 1, theta = 1, ...)

Arguments

n

number of observations

spec

The selection of the lower tail (head) distribution

alpha

The shape parameter of the Pareto distribution

theta

The scale parameter of Pareto, also serve as the location parameter of the composite model

...

The parameter of the lower tail (head) distribution

Value

an object of the same length of n

Examples

n<-100
rcomppareto(n,"weibull", alpha = 1.5, theta = 1.5, shape = 2, scale = 2)
