+"""Generate the probability model for the constrained token set.
+
+Model obtained from a 2-sided zero-centered distribution derived
+from a Pareto distribution. The cdf of the distribution is:
+cdf(x) = 0.5 + 0.5 * sgn(x) * [1 - {alpha/(alpha + |x|)} ^ beta]
+
+For a given beta and a given probability of the 1-node, the alpha
+is first solved, and then the {alpha, beta} pair is used to generate
+the probabilities for the rest of the nodes.
