Hi,
I would like to simulate a truncated pareto distribution where the parameters are :
mean=6;
max=12.5;
shape=1.2;
scale=2.5;
location = tp_scale;
for the generation of random values, I use gprnd function
random_pareto = gprnd(tp_shape,tp_scale,tp_location);
But I didn't know how to use the mean and max to generate a truncated pareto values.
Need help,
Thank you.

Hello Meriam,
I also have the same question as yours. I wonder have you got a solution on how to generate random numbers according to the tracated pareto distribution with your parameters?
Please let me know. Thank you.

Under
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution
take a look at the paragraph
Bounded pareto distribution / Generating bounded pareto random
variables.
Best wishes
