Detailed Description

This class implements random variate generators for one of the Pareto distributions, with parameters \(\alpha>0\) and \(\beta>0\).

Its density function is

\[ f (x) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll} {\displaystyle\frac{\alpha\beta^{\alpha}}{x^{\alpha+1}}} & \mbox{ for }x>\beta \\ 0 & \mbox{ for }x\le\beta \end{array}\right. \tag{fpareto} \]

The (non-static) nextDouble method simply calls inverseF on the distribution.
