[feature request] The pareto case #68

Description

@lrnv

The Pareto case could be handled by using the fact that if $X$ is Pareto-dsitributed with minimal value $m$ and shape index $\alpha$, then

$$Y = log(X) - log(m)$$ is exponentially distributed with rate parameter $\alpha$. Therefore, for any function $f$,

$$\mathbb E(f(X)) = \mathbb E(f(m * e^Y))$$

and we can re-use the quadrature scheme of $Y$, which follows a Exponential(\alpha) distribution.
