Abstract

A new representation for the characteristic function of the multivariate strictly geo-stable distribution is presented. The representation is appealing from a parametric viewpoint: its parameters have an intuitive probabilistic interpretation; and it is particularly useful for estimating the parameters of the geo-stable distribution.
