The Feller-Pareto distribution with parameters min \(= \mu\),
shape1 \(= \alpha\), shape2 \(= \gamma\),
shape3 \(= \tau\) and scale \(= \theta\), has
density:
$$f(x) = \frac{\Gamma(\alpha + \tau)}{\Gamma(\alpha)\Gamma(\tau)}
\frac{\gamma ((x - \mu)/\theta)^{\gamma \tau - 1}}{%
\theta [1 + ((x - \mu)/\theta)^\gamma]^{\alpha + \tau}}$$
for \(x > \mu\), \(-\infty < \mu < \infty\),
\(\alpha > 0\), \(\gamma > 0\),
\(\tau > 0\) and \(\theta > 0\).
(Here \(\Gamma(\alpha)\) is the function implemented
by R's gamma() and defined in its help.)
The Feller-Pareto is the distribution of the random variable $$\mu + \theta \left(\frac{1 - X}{X}\right)^{1/\gamma},$$ where \(X\) has a beta distribution with parameters \(\alpha\) and \(\tau\).
The Feller-Pareto defines a large family of distributions encompassing the transformed beta family and many variants of the Pareto distribution. Setting \(\mu = 0\) yields the transformed beta distribution.
The Feller-Pareto distribution also has the following direct special cases:
A Pareto IV distribution when shape3
== 1;
A Pareto III distribution when shape1
shape3 == 1;
A Pareto II distribution when shape1
shape2 == 1;
A Pareto I distribution when shape1
shape2 == 1 and min = scale.
The \(k\)th raw moment of the random variable \(X\) is \(E[X^k]\) for nonnegative integer values of \(k < \alpha\gamma\).
The \(k\)th limited moment at some limit \(d\) is \(E[\min(X, d)^k]\) for nonnegative integer values of \(k\) and \(\alpha - j/\gamma\), \(j = 1, \dots, k\) not a negative integer.
Note that the range of admissible values for \(k\) in raw and limited moments is larger when \(\mu = 0\).
