Abstract

A program for maximum likelihood estimation of general stable parameters is described. The Fisher information matrix is computed, making large sample estimation of stable parameters a practical tool. In addition, diagnostics are developed for assessing the stability of a data set. Applications to simulated data, stock price data, foreign exchange rate data, radar data, and ocean wave energy are presented.
