On the Chambers{mallows{stuck Method for Simulating Skewed Stable Random Variables

چکیده
In this note, we give a proof to the equality in law of a skewed stable variable and a nonlinear transformation of two independent uniform and exponential variables. The lack of an explicit proof of this formula has led to some inaccuracies in the literature. The Chambers et al. (1976) method of computer generation of a skewed stable random variable is based on this equality.

A Survey on Simulating Stable Random Variables
In general case, Chambers et al. (1976) introduced the following algorithm for simulating any stable random variables $ X/sim(alpha, beta, gamma, delta) $ with four parameters. They use a nonlinear transformation of two independent uniform random variables for simulating an stable random variable... (to continue, click here)
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of uncoupled continuous-time random walks yielding a stochastic solution of the space-time fractional diffusion equation.
We present a numerical method for the Monte Carlo simulation of uncoupled continuous-time random walks with a Lévy alpha -stable distribution of jumps in space and a Mittag-Leffler distribution of waiting times, and apply it to the stochastic solution of the Cauchy problem for a partial differential equation with fractional derivatives both in space and in time. The one-parameter Mittag-Leffler...

متن کاملSmall area estimation for semicontinuous data.
Survey data often contain measurements for variables that are semicontinuous in nature, i.e. they either take a single fixed value (we assume this is zero) or they have a continuous, often skewed, distribution on the positive real line. Standard methods for small area estimation (SAE) based on the use of linear mixed models can be inefficient for such variables. We discuss SAE techniques for se...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Practical Model for Optimizing Surge Tanks and Air Chambers in Water Transmission Systems
Surge tanks and air chambers are the most useful solution to deal with water hammer in water transmission systems (WTS). The optimal design of these protective devices can be effective in reducing the costs of constructing and operating a water transmission system. In this article, some software with the capability of simulating and optimizing these protective equipment is presented. To simulat...
