Fat-tailed distribution 肥尾分布
(重定向自Fat tails)
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.
