Quantlet: stabmom
Description: returns parameter estimates of stable distribution using the method of moments

Usage: est=stabmom(x)
Input:
x n x 1 vector, a sample from a stable distribution
Output:
est.alpha scalar, estimate of characteristic exponent
est.sigma scalar, estimate of scale parameter
est.beta scalar, estimate of skewness parameter
est.mu scalar, estimate of location parameter

Example:
library("stats")
randomize(100)
x=rndstab(1.6,1,0,1,10000)
est = stabmom(x)
est.alpha
est.sigma
est.beta
est.mu

Result:
Contents of alpha
[1,]   1.5924

Contents of sigma
[1,]   1.0093

Contents of beta
[1,] -0.079982

Contents of mu
[1,]  0.94979
