Abstract
The Pareto laws emerged from the threshold analysis of Chap. 4. As these laws are scale invariant, they are characterized by a single parameter: the exponent \(\epsilon \). In this short chapter, we present altogether different characterizations of the Pareto laws: linear parameterizations based on conditional medians and on conditional means. These characterizations, which are based on [1], are generalizations of the Lindy law.
