A fat-tailed distribution is a probability distribution that has the property, along with the other heavy-tailed distributions, that it exhibits large skewness or kurtosis. This comparison is often made relative to the normal distribution, or to the exponential distribution. Fat-tailed distributions have been empirically encountered in a variety of areas: economics, physics, and earth sciences. Some fat-tailed distributions have power law decay in the tail of the distribution, but do not necessarily follow a power law everywhere. ==Definition== The distribution of a random variable ''X'' is said to have a fat tail if : That is, if ''X'' has probability density function , : Here the tilde notation "" refers to the asymptotic equivalence of functions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fat-tailed distribution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
