  2. Heavy-tailed distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy-tailed_distribution

    The distribution of a random variable X with distribution function F is said to have a long right tail [1] if for all t > 0, [> + >] =,or equivalently ¯ (+) ¯ (). This has the intuitive interpretation for a right-tailed long-tailed distributed quantity that if the long-tailed quantity exceeds some high level, the probability approaches 1 that it will exceed any other higher level.

  3. Fat-tailed distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat-tailed_distribution

    The most extreme case of a fat tail is given by a distribution whose tail decays like a power law. A variety of Cauchy distributions for various location and scale parameters. Cauchy distributions are examples of fat-tailed distributions. That is, if the complementary cumulative distribution of a random variable X can be expressed as [citation ...

  5. Long tail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_tail

    The long-tail distribution applies at a given point in time, but over time the relative popularity of the sales of the individual products will change. [26] Although the distribution of sales may appear to be similar over time, the positions of the individual items within it will vary. For example, new items constantly enter most fashion markets.

  6. Noncentral t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncentral_t-distribution

    Central t-distribution: the central t-distribution can be converted into a location/scale family. This family of distributions is used in data modeling to capture various tail behaviors. The location/scale generalization of the central t-distribution is a different distribution from the noncentral t-distribution

  7. Sub-Gaussian distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-Gaussian_distribution

    In probability theory, a subgaussian distribution, the distribution of a subgaussian random variable, is a probability distribution with strong tail decay. More specifically, the tails of a subgaussian distribution are dominated by (i.e. decay at least as fast as) the tails of a Gaussian. This property gives subgaussian distributions their name.

  8. Tail dependence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_dependence

    In probability theory, the tail dependence of a pair of random variables is a measure of their comovements in the tails of the distributions. The concept is used in extreme value theory . Random variables that appear to exhibit no correlation can show tail dependence in extreme deviations.

  9. Long-tail traffic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-tail_traffic

    First, is a cause based in the application layer which theorizes that user session durations vary with a long-tail distribution due to the file size distribution. If the distribution of file sizes is heavy-tailed then the superposition of many file transfers in a client/server network environment will be long-range dependent.
