On the confidence intervals of parametric functions for Distributions Generated by Symmetric Stable Laws
Abstract
In this paper we consider “Discrete Distributions Generated by Standard Symmetric Stable Densities” (DSSD in short) arising in Bioinformatics (Astola and Danielian, 2007). Using well-known asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood (ML) estimators we obtain the respective asymptotic confidence intervals for some useful parametric functionsof the DSSD.
