Summary/Abstract: In this paper the modeling of return rates on WIG, WIG20, MWIG40 and SWIG80 indexes was made by application of Laplace, Gaussian and GED distributions. Calculations were made for classical and logarithmic return rates with the view of comparing the final results, which were the chi-square goodness-of-fit test results. Furthermore, the applicability of three methods of estimating GED parameters (Maximum Likelihood Method and two approximate methods) in modeling empirical return rates of selected stock exchange indexes was thoroughly discussed and verified.
