We consider the class of symmetric \(\alpha\) -stable moving average processes with \(1< \alpha < 2\) . These processes are H-self-similar ( \(0< H < 1\) ) with stationary increments, indexed by \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\) , and driven by a symmetric \(\alpha\) -stable random measure \(M_{\alpha }\) . Our objective is to characterize these processes by estimating the Hurst parameter H, utilizing estimators based on p-variations and wavelet decomposition techniques. The idea is to exploit the self-similarity structure to calculate the p-variation along fixed directions. Two main results will be presented: the first establishes a law of large numbers type estimator for H, while the second provides a central limit theorem demonstrating convergence either to a Gaussian or to a stable distribution.
