Based on the available methods, a new hybrid method is proposed for the estimation of the parameters of a univariate stable distribution. The proposed method is further used for the estimation of the parameters of a strictly multivariate stable distribution. The efficiency, accuracy, and simplicity of the new method is shown through Monte-Carlo simulation. Finally, we apply the proposed method to the univariate and bivariate financial data.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-26T08:31:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60E07", "62F10" ], "keywords": [ "estimation", "parameters", "bivariate financial data", "well-known methods", "univariate stable distribution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
