Standard Deviation
Pareto (Type I) distribution standard deviation.
The standard deviation for a Pareto (Type I) random variable is
where α > 0
is the shape parameter and β > 0
is the scale parameter.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-pareto-type1-stdev
Usage
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-pareto-type1-stdev' );
stdev( alpha, beta )
Returns the standard deviation of a Pareto (Type I) distribution with parameters alpha
(shape parameter) and beta
(scale parameter).
var v = stdev( 2.5, 1.0 );
// returns ~1.491
v = stdev( 4.0, 12.0 );
// returns ~5.657
v = stdev( 8.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~0.33
If provided NaN
as any argument, the function returns NaN
.
var v = stdev( NaN, 2.0 );
// returns NaN
v = stdev( 2.0, NaN );
// returns NaN
If provided 0 < alpha <= 2
, the function returns +Infinity
.
var v = stdev( 0.5, 2.0 );
// returns Infinity
v = stdev( 1.5, 1.0 );
// returns Infinity
If provided alpha <= 0
, the function returns NaN
.
var v = stdev( 0.0, 1.0 );
// returns NaN
v = stdev( -1.0, 1.0 );
// returns NaN
If provided beta <= 0
, the function returns NaN
.
var v = stdev( 1.0, 0.0 );
// returns NaN
v = stdev( 1.0, -1.0 );
// returns NaN
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var EPS = require( '@stdlib/constants-float64-eps' );
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-pareto-type1-stdev' );
var alpha;
var beta;
var v;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
alpha = ( randu()*10.0 ) + EPS;
beta = ( randu()*10.0 ) + EPS;
v = stdev( alpha, beta );
console.log( 'α: %d, β: %d, Var(X;α,β): %d', alpha.toFixed( 4 ), beta.toFixed( 4 ), v.toFixed( 4 ) );
}
