Generates random values from a Pareto-distributed variate.
The Pareto distribution often is associated with the 80/20 rule.
A Boolean that controls the reseeding of the random value generator after the first execution of the node. By default, this node maintains the initial internal seed state.
True | Accepts a new seed and begins generating random values based on the seed. If the seed is less than or equal to 0, the node ignores the reset value of True and resumes generating random values as a continuation of the previous sequence. |
False | Resumes generating random values as a continuation of the previous sequence. The node ignores new seed inputs. |
Default: False
Location parameter of the random variable.
This input must be greater than 0.
Default: 1
Shape parameter of the random variable.
This input must be greater than 0.
Default: 3
Value that causes reseeding of the random value generator when the value is greater than 0.
Default: -1
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
Number of samples in the output array.
samples must be greater than or equal to 0.
Default: 128
Randomized data distributed according to the Pareto distribution.
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
