rTrunS: Simulation from the truncated stable distribution

Description

Simulates from the truncated stable distribution.

Usage

rTrunS(n, t, alpha, b = 1, step = 1)

Value

Returns a vector of n random numbers.

Arguments

n

Number of observations.

t

Parameter > 0.

alpha

Parameter in the open interval (0,1).

b

Parameter > 0.

step

Tuning parameter. The larger the step, the slower the rejection sampling, but the fewer the number of terms. See Hoefert (2011) or Section 4 in Grabchak (2019).

Details

Simulates from the truncated stable distribution using Algorithm 4.3 in Dassios, Qu, and Lim (2020). This distribution has Laplace transform

L(z) = exp( t * (alpha/Gamma(1-alpha)) * int_0^b (e^(-xz)-1) x^(-1-alpha) dx), z>0

and Levy measure

M(dx) = t * (alpha/Gamma(1-alpha)) * x^(-1-alpha) 1(0<x<b) dx.

Here Gamma() is the gamma function.
