α-stable distributions are a family of well-known probability distributions. However, the lack of closed analytical expressions hinders their application. Libstable consists of an R package, a C/C++ library and a MATLAB front-end that permits fully parallelized, fast and high precision evaluation of density, distribution and quantile functions (PDF, CDF and CDF-1 respectively), random variable generation and parameter estimation of α-stable distributions in their whole parameter space. The library can be easily integrated on third party developments.
