Hi,

I want to give a computer assignment for my graduate EE
stochastics and random variables class on fractal time 
series.  Does anyone have a good reference for actually 
generating random fractal time series?  I read chaos and
the capital market.  It discusses stable peritian (sp?)
in regards to its characteristic function but it does
not state how to generate sequences.  Ideally, I would
like the students to write a program in MATLAB to perform
this function.

Any hints on references would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Matt

PS: Does anyone know of an expression to compute
    unbiased kurtosis?  Any references?
