Notes

The probability density function for burr is:

f (x; c, d) = c d \frac{x ^{- c - 1}}{( 1 + x ^{- c} ) ^{d + 1}}

for $x >= 0$ and $c, d > 0$ .

burr takes c and d as shape parameters for $c$ and $d$ .

This is the PDF corresponding to the third CDF given in Burr's list; specifically, it is equation (11) in Burr's paper ^[1]. The distribution is also commonly referred to as the Dagum distribution ^[2]. If the parameter $c < 1$ then the mean of the distribution does not exist and if $c < 2$ the variance does not exist ^[2]. The PDF is finite at the left endpoint $x = 0$ if $c * d >= 1$ .
