In this note, we consider the performance of the classic method of moments for parameter estimation of symmetric variance-gamma (generalized Laplace) distributions. We do this through both theoretical analysis (multivariate delta method) and a comprehensive simulation study with comparison to maximum likelihood estimation, finding performance is often ...
