Multiple scattering of light by resonant vapor is characterized by Levy-type superdiffusion with a step size distribution $P(x) \propto 1/x^{1+{\alpha}}$, with $0 < {\alpha} < 2$. The Levy parameter ${\alpha}$ was measured from $P(x)$,…

Stable distributions provide a flexible framework for modeling heavy-tailed and skewed data, with the stability index $\alpha$ quantifying tail heaviness. We propose a new semiparametric estimator for $\alpha$ that leverages the two-sum…
