About

Maintained by Solym Manou-AbiFirst published 2025-11-031 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides various functions for parameter estimation of one-dimensional stable distributions and their mixtures. It implements a diverse set of estimation methods, including quantile-based approaches, regression methods based on the empirical characteristic function (empirical, kernel, and recursive), and maximum likelihood estimation. For mixture models, it provides stochastic expectation–maximization (SEM) algorithms and Bayesian estimation methods using sampling and importance sampling to overcome the long burn-in period of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) strategies. The package also includes tools and statistical tests for analyzing whether a dataset follows a stable distribution. Some of the implemented methods are described in Hajjaji, O., Manou-Abi, S. M., and Slaoui, Y. (2024) doi:10.1080/02664763.2024.2434627.

grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-mixstable

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-MixStable

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
