Pareto interpolation

Pareto interpolation is a method of estimating the median and other properties of a population that follows a Pareto distribution. It is used in economics when analysing the distribution of incomes in a population, when one must base estimates on a relatively small random sample taken from the population. The family of Pareto distributions is parameterized by * a positive number κ that is the smallest value that a random variable with a Pareto distribution can take. As applied to distribution of incomes, κ is the lowest income of any person in the population; and * a positive number θ the "Pareto index"; as this increases, the tail of the distribution gets thinner. As applied to distribution of incomes, this means that the larger the value of the Pareto index θ the smaller the proportion of incomes many times as big as the smallest incomes. Pareto interpolation can be used when the available information includes the proportion of the sample that falls below each of two specified numbers a < b. For example, it may be observed that 45% of individuals in the sample have incomes below a = $35,000 per year, and 55% have incomes below b = $40,000 per year. Let Pa = proportion of the sample that lies below a;Pb = proportion of the sample that lies below b. Then the estimates of κ and θ are and The estimate of the median would then be since the actual population median is (Wikipedia).

How to Multiply Two Monomials by a Trinomial and Binomial

👉 Learn how to multiply polynomials. We apply the distributive property to polynomials by multiplying a monomial to every term in a polynomial. When multiplying monomials it is important that we multiply the coefficients and apply the rules of exponents to add the powers of each variable.
