Python package for fitting Pareto distributions to empirical data using the Clauset, Shalizi, Newman (2009) approach.

Installation

Assuming you have pip on your computer (as will be the case if you've installed Anaconda) you can install the latest stable release of Pyreto by typing

pip install pyreto

at a terminal prompt.

Example notebooks

I am in the process of putting together a collection of example notebooks demonstrating functionality and usage of the Pyreto package. The easiest way to try out Pyreto is to simply launch the notebooks on Binder by clicking the "Launch Binder" button above.

I am also looking to collect notebooks replicating (or not!) previous studies that have fit Pareto distributions to data. If you would like to contribute a notebook, please submit a Pull Request.
