A Survey on Simulating Stable Random Variables

Authors

Abstract:

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)

Simulating Bessel Random Variables

In this paper, we discuss efficient exact random variate generation for the Bessel distribution. The expected time of the algorithm is uniformly bounded over all choices of the parameters, and the algorithm avoids any computation of Bessel functions or Bessel ratios.

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

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.

Probability Models . S 4 Simulating Random Variables

In the fashion of the last several sections, we will often create probability models of certain aspects of systems. For simple cases, we compute probabilities of events using probability theory. In the remainder of this book, we will find other situations that are affected by more than one random variable. Because of their complexity, however, many problems will not yield to easy analysis. Rath...

On Symmetric Stable Random Variables and Matrix Transposition

In a companion paper, the authors obtained some Fubini type identities in law for quadratic functionals of Brownian motion, and, more generally, for certain functionals of symmetric stable processes, the function: x -* x2 then being replaced by: x e IxIa. In this paper, discrete analogues of such identities in law, which involve a sequence of independent standard symmetric stable r.v.'s of inde...

A Probability Space based on Interval Random Variables

This paper considers an extension of probability space based on interval random variables. In this approach, first, a notion of interval random variable is introduced. Then, based on a family of continuous distribution functions with interval parameters, a concept of probability space of an interval random variable is proposed. Then, the mean and variance of an interval random variable are intr...

On the Ratio of Rice Random Variables

 The ratio of independent random variables arises in many applied problems. In this article, the distribution of the ratio X/Y is studied, when X and Y are independent Rice random variables. Ratios of such random variable have extensive applications in the analysis of noises of communication systems. The exact forms of probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) a...
