BGW.StableTrees.StablePositivity

Sign probabilities of the spectrally positive stable law #

Kendall's density at level one has total mass one. Substituting u = s^(-1/θ) identifies this mass with θ times the negative half-line mass of the stable density. The positive half-line probability follows by complementation, and positive spatial scaling preserves the sign probabilities of every positive-time marginal.
