1 The Pareto Distribution - University of Montana
www.math.umt.edumethod of moments we set the sample mean equal to the theoretical mean, so here we will set the sample median equal to the theoretical median. Many of the estimation schemes discussed in this paper were first studied in the 2. case where k was known to be equal to one, so that it was only α that needed
