Dear all, I am trying to use the rstable(n, alpha, beta, gamma = 1, delta = 0, pm = c(0, 1, 2)))
function to generate positive stable random numbers. For positive stable distribution, beta==1 and alpha is in (0,1), which defines random variables with support (0, infinity). So, I used rstable(100, 0.5, 1) for an example. I found that this gives me some negative numbers. For example, > rstable(10, 0.5, 1) [1] 6.3016252 399.3659030 11.2735789 1.9550625 -0.6762333 1.6810761 [7] 0.9091360 1.9100991 -0.7593737 24.2788471 Does anybody know why this should happen? Thanks a lot, Julie ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
