Thanks, I see. So there is a sample generator for Levy. It might be not that easy for stable distributions. I should start with naive implementation. Pavel On Dec 21, 2010, at 23:32 PM, Phil Steitz wrote: > On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 5:03 PM, Pavel Ryzhov wrote: > >> No, right now. >> >> But i'l

No, right now. But i'll definitely make sample generation as i'm writing small Monte Carlo engine. My current plan is: 1. Levy distribution as the first step for contribution. 2. Stable distribution and generic distributions by characteristic function. I've already started working on it. 3. Gen

Sounds interesting to have to me. Do you generate samples? On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 12:38 PM, Pavel Ryzhov wrote: > Hi, > > I've implemented Levy distribution on top of commons-math. The > implementation is pretty straightforward by > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lévy_distribution

[math] Levy distribution

2010-12-21 Thread Pavel Ryzhov
Hi, I've implemented Levy distribution on top of commons-math. The implementation is pretty straightforward by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lévy_distribution So it was not a big deal. The distribution is of interest to the financial modeling, so it might worth to include it into the library. S
