Compute the characteristic function of stable laws

Theoretical characteristic function (CF) of stable laws under parametrisation ‘S0’ or ‘S1’. See Nolan (2013) for more details.

Usage

ComplexCF(t, theta, pm = 0)

Arguments

t: vector of (real) numbers where the CF is evaluated; numeric.
theta: vector of parameters of the stable law; vector of length 4.
pm: parametrisation, an integer (0 or 1); default: pm = 0 (Nolan's ‘S0’ parametrisation).

Details

For more details about the different parametrisation of the CF, see Nolan(2012).

Value

vector of complex numbers with dimension length(t).

## define the parameters
nt <- 10
t <- seq(0.1, 3, length.out = nt)
theta <- c(1.5, 0.5, 1, 0)
pm <- 0
