shape - The shape of the distribution

scale - The scale of the distribution

Sim_pareto_obj

public Sim_pareto_obj(java.lang.String name,
                      double shape,
                      double scale,
                      long seed)

The constructor with which a specific seed is set for the random number generator

Parameters:

name - The name to be associated with this instance

shape - The shape of the distribution
