Heavy or semi-heavy tail, that is the question. [PDF]
J Appl Stat, 2021 While there has been considerable research on the analysis of extreme values and outliers by using heavy-tailed distributions, little is known about the semi-heavy-tailed behaviors of data when there are a few suspicious outliers. To address the situation where data are skewed possessing semi-heavy tails, we introduce two new skewed distribution ...

Comparative Analysis of Abattoir-Based Measures and On-Farm Pig Welfare Indicators in Italian Fattening Heavy Pigs [PDF]
Veterinary SciencesAnimal welfare monitoring is essential in pig production. On-farm animal welfare (AW) assessments may provide a comprehensive overview but are resource-intensive.

Understanding Heavy Tails in a Bounded World or, is a Truncated Heavy Tail Heavy or Not? [PDF]
Stochastic Models, 2012 We address the important question of the extent to which random variables and vectors with truncated power tails retain the characteristic features of random variables and vectors with power tails. We define two truncation regimes, soft truncation regime and hard truncation regime, and show that, in the soft truncation regime, truncated power tails ...

Minimum of heavy-tailed random variables is not heavy tailed
AIMS Mathematics, 2023 <abstract><p>By constructing an appropriate example, we show that the class of heavy-tailed distributions is not closed under minimum. We provide two independent heavy-tailed random variables, such that their minimum is not heavy tailed. In addition, we establish a few properties of the distributions considered in the example.</p></

Outliers and the Ostensibly Heavy Tails [PDF]
Mathematical Methods of Statistics, 2019 The aim of the paper is to show that the presence of one possible type of outliers is not connected to that of heavy tails of the distribution. In contrary, typical situation for outliers appearance is the case of compact supported distributions.

Indagationes Mathematicae, 2023 The present paper is concerned with the stationary workload of queues with heavy-tailed (regularly varying) characteristics. We adopt a transform perspective to illuminate a close connection between the tail asymptotics and heavy-traffic limit in infinite-variance scenarios. This serves as a tribute to some of the pioneering results of J.W.

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2013 The stochastic multi-armed bandit problem is well understood when the reward distributions are sub-Gaussian. In this paper we examine the bandit problem under the weaker assumption that the distributions have moments of order 1+ε, for some $ε\in (0,1]$.

Minimax Policy for Heavy-tailed Bandits [PDF]
2021 American Control Conference (ACC), 2021 We study the stochastic Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) problem under worst-case regret and heavy-tailed reward distribution. We modify the minimax policy MOSS for the sub-Gaussian reward distribution by using saturated empirical mean to design a new algorithm called Robust MOSS.
