Abstract
This paper examines the application of the so called generalized Student's t-distribution in modeling the distribution of empirical return rates on selected Warsaw stock exchange indexes. It deals with distribution parameters by means of the method of logarithmic moments, the maximum likelihood method and the method of moments. Generalized Student's t-distribution ensures better fitting to empirical data than the classical Student's t-distribution.(original abstract)
