Andrew Waterman commented on MATH-460:
--------------------------------------
I've been able to sample what looks to be a proper a Levy Distribution using
the T-Distribution (student's) in R with the following code:
> N<- 100
> distribution-vector<- rt(N,df=2)
[modified from http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/07.html]
When graphed as an XY, I'm able to plot what looks to be a "Levy Flight" (see
citation for details) as used in ecological modeling. This could serve as the
basis to implement the mathematical expectations for the missing unit tests.
