Inverse Pareto distribution
This tool calculates the Inverse of Pareto Cumulative Distribution Function. One of its uses is to calculate percentiles of a Pareto distribution.
Inverse Pareto Distribution formulas
X : a random variable following a Pareto distribution
`x_m` : scale parameter (> 0)
`alpha` : shape parameter (> 0)
The inverse of the cumulative distribution function F(x) is also called the 'quantile function', denoted Q(x). We have,
`F(x) = 1-(x_m/x)^alpha` for `x>=x_m`
`F(x) = 1` for `x < x_m`
`Q(x) = F^(-1)(x)`
