Distinguishing Log-Concavity from Heavy Tails [PDF]
Risks, 2017 Well-behaved densities are typically log-convex with heavy tails and log-concave with light ones. We discuss a benchmark for distinguishing between the two cases, based on the observation that large values of a sum X 1 + X 2 occur as result ...

The fundamentals of heavy-tails [PDF]
ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review, 2013 Heavy-tails are a continual source of excitement and confusion across disciplines as they are repeatedly "discovered" in new contexts. This is especially true within computer systems, where heavy-tails seemingly pop up everywhere -- from degree distributions in the internet and social networks to file sizes and interarrival times of workloads. However,

Understanding Heavy Tails of Flood Peak Distributions [PDF]
, 2022 Statistical distributions of flood peak discharge often show heavy tail behavior, that is, extreme floods are more likely to occur than would be predicted by commonly used distributions that have exponential asymptotic behavior.

Inferring heavy tails of flood distributions through hydrograph recession analysis [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Floods are often disastrous due to underestimation of the magnitude of rare events. Underestimation commonly happens when the magnitudes of floods follow a heavy-tailed distribution, but this behavior is not recognized and thus neglected for flood hazard

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.

Revisiting and Modeling Power-Law Distributions in Empirical Outage Data of Power Systems
PRX Energy, 2023 The size distributions of planned and forced outages and their restoration times in power systems have been studied for almost two decades and have drawn great interest as they display heavy tails.

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.

Heavy or semi-heavy tail, that is the question
Journal of Applied Statistics, 2020 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 ...

Data in Brief, 2020 In this data article, we investigated the accumulation of heavy metals in the lizard Microlophus atacamensis, in three coastal areas of the Atacama Desert, northern Chile. We captured lizards in a non-intervened area (Parque Nacional Pan de Azucar, PAZ),
