Plots of the ratios of the numbers of extreme statistics, as functions of the sample size, for a stable symmetric distribution 𝑆 1 . 2 ( 1 , 0 , 0 ) (solid line), a stable distribution skewed to the right 𝑆 1 . 2 ( 1 , 0 . 5 , 0 ) (dashed line) and a stable distribution skewed to the left 𝑆 1 . 2 ( 1 , 0 . 5 , 0 ) (dotted line).
