Generating a random sample from Pareto distribution

Pareto distribution is not yet recognized by many programming languages. In actuarial field, Pareto distribution in widely used to estimate portfolio costs. As a matter of fact, it can be quite demanding to get data from this particular probability distribution. One can easily generate data from Pareto distribution by mixing 2 random variables, which are usually built-in in many Statistical tools. The process is quite simple; one has to generate numbers from an exponential distribution with its lambda equal to randomly generated sample from a gamma distribution, with alpha and lambda respectively equal to the arguments of the initial Pareto distribution. Example using R
