Description

A Mathematica package for the computation of stable distributions is demonstrated. Calculations of stable density, distribution, and quantile functions can be performed and stable random variables generated. Data can be fit to stable parameters by the maximum likelihood method. Extreme precision calculations are possible. The StableDistribution package and documentation are provided in the Additional Material section.
