\title{Mode of the Stable Distribution Function}
5
Computes the mode of the stable distribution function.
7
Finds the maximum of \code{\link{dstable}} numerically, using

stableMode(alpha, beta,
13
tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25)
16
\item{alpha, beta}{numeric parameters:
17
value of the index parameter \code{alpha} in the range \eqn{(0,2]},
18
and the skewness parameter \code{beta}, in the range \eqn{[-1, 1]}.}
19
\item{beta.max}{for numerical purposes, values of beta too close to 1,
20
are set to \code{beta.max}. Do not modify unless you know what
22
\item{tol}{numerical tolerance for \code{\link{optimize}()}.}
25
returns a numeric value, the location of the stable mode.
