paretovariate

2008-08-11 Thread zhjchen
I want to realize a list of numbers. They follow pareto distribution. For instance, the average value is 10 and alpha is 1.0 I do not know how to use the function of paretovariate(alpha). It only provides alpha parameter. How should I set the average value? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman
