Sample variables from an offset truncated power distribution with fixed sum

Default values adapted from Ferguson et al. (2005). The final sample is adjusted to ensure that the total sum of samples equals to N.

Usage

sample_offset_truncated_power_distribution(
  N,
  prop_max = 0.1,
  a = 5.36,
  c = 1.34
)

Arguments

N

An integer giving the sum of generated random variables

prop_max

The proportion of N which is the maximum value of a single sample

a

A parameter of the distribution (?)

c
