An estimation procedure for the Linnik distribution

Methodology 2017-03-27 v3

Abstract

We propose estimators for the parameters of the Linnik L(α,γ)(\alpha,\gamma) distribution. The estimators are derived from the moments of the log-transformed Linnik distributed random variable, and are shown to be asymptotically unbiased. The estimation algorithm is computationally simple and less restrictive. Our procedure is also tested using simulated data.
