Statistical Inference for Stable Distribution Using EM algorithm

From MaRDI portal





Abstract: The class of alpha-stable distributions with a wide range of applications in economics, telecommunications, biology, applied, and theoretical physics. This is due to the fact that it possesses both the skewness and heavy tails. Since alpha-stable distribution suffers from a closed-form expression for density function, finding efficient estimators for its parameters has attracted a great deal of attention in the literature. Here, we propose some EM algorithm to estimate the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of alpha-stable distribution. The performance of the proposed EM algorithm is demonstrated via comparison study in the presence of other well-known competitors and analyzing three sets of real data.
