Thanks very much to John P. Nolan, Andrey Feuerverger, John R. Gleason,
Matt Calder and others, who respond about stable r.v. simulation
question.
Some notes:
1) The simulation of stable r.v. in S+ is one of the quickest one.
2) The algorithm is described in the journal of the American
Statistical Association, 1976, p340-344.
3) The compact discussion of the problem is on pp 458-459 of Devroye,
"Non-Uniform Random Variate Generation", Springer.
4) If you'd like simply to simulate symmetric stable r.v. you can
use formula:
X = ((sin(ag)/(cos(g)^(1/a))) * ((cos((1-a)g)/W)^((1-a)/a))
where, a = alpha, g ~ Uniform(-pi/2, pi/2), W ~ Exponential(1).
