        These functions provide information about the Pareto
        distribution with location parameter equal to `m' and
        dispersion equal to `s'.  `dpareto' gives the density,
        `ppareto' gives the distribution function, `hpareto'
        gives the hazard function.

        The Pareto distribution has density

              f(y) = s (1 + y/(m (s-1)))^(-s-1)/(m (s-1))

        where m is the mean parameter of the distribution and s
        is the dispersion.

        This distribution can be obtained as a mixture distri-
        bution from the exponential distribution using a gamma
        mixing distribution.
