Editing Stable distribution (section)

== Parameter estimation ==
In addition to the existing [[Normality_test|tests for normality]] and subsequent [[Normal_distribution#Estimation_of_parameters | parameter estimation]], a general method which relies on the quantiles was developed by McCulloch and works for both symmetric and skew stable distributions and stability parameter <math>0.5 < \alpha \leq 2</math>.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=McCulloch |first1=J Huston |title=Simple consistent estimators of stable distribution parameters |journal=Communications in Statistics.
