The calculations for Stable Distributions in Mathematica are performed using algorithms and software designed by John P. Nolan PhD.  The algorithms are explained in detail in a forthcoming book by Professor Nolan:

 

Stable Distributions

Models for Heavy Tailed Data

 

There is a great deal of useful information at his academic website, and MathLink software for extensive Stable Distribution calculations and analysis is available from Robust Analysis, Inc.

 

 

A free version of software that runs in Mathematica version 5.0 is available for download below.

 

 

Software for version 5.0

 

This software code is encrypted.  If there is interest in an open code version for a small fee, contact:
