On A New Class of Tempered Stable Distributions: Moments and Regular Variation
, 2011 We extend the class of tempered stable distributions first introduced in Rosinski 2007. Our new class allows for more structure and more variety of tail behaviors. We discuss various subclasses and the relation between them.

To this end, they implement policies that elevate the economic status of individuals who embrace the occupier's national identity and discriminate against those ...
