Abstract

Spatial datasets may contain extreme values and exhibit heavy tails. So, the Gaussianity assumption for the corresponding random field is not reasonable. A sub-Gaussian $\alpha$-stable (SG$\alpha$S) random field may be more suitable as a model for heavy-tailed spatial data. This paper focuses on geostatistical data and presents an algorithm for simulating SG$\alpha$S random fields.
