Heavy tailed distributions are useful for modeling actuarial and financial risk management problems. Actuaries often search for finding distributions that provide the best fit to heavy tailed data sets. In the present work, we introduce a new class of heavy tailed distributions of a special sub-model of the proposed family, called a new extended alpha power transformed Weibull distribution, useful for modeling heavy tailed data sets. Mathematical properties along with certain characterizations of the proposed distribution are presented. Maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters are obtained. A simulation study is provided to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. Actuarial measures such as Value at Risk and Tail Value at Risk are also calculated. Further, a simulation study based on the actuarial measures is done. Finally, an application of the proposed model to a heavy tailed data set is presented. The proposed distribution is compared with some well-known (i) two-parameter models, (ii) three-parameter models and (iii) four-parameter models.

This paper considers the testing problem for scale changes in autoregressive processes with heavy-tailed innovations. For a test, we propose the CUSUM test statistic based on the trimmed residuals. We perform a simulation study for the mixture normal and Cauchy innovations.

The statistics for the neighbor differences between the particular pixels and their neighbors are introduced. They are incorporated into the filter to remove additive Gaussian noise contaminating images. The derived denoising method corresponds to the maximum likelihood estimator for the heavy-tailed Gaussian distribution. The error norm corresponding to our estimator from the robust statistics is equivalent to Huber's minimax norm. Our estimator is also optimal in the respect of maximizing the efficacy under the above noise environment.

The research classifies three types of asymptotic tail distributions such as long(heavy, thick) tailed distribution, medium tailed distribution and short(light, thin) tailed distribution. The extreme value distributions(EVD) classified in this paper can be used in SPC(Statistical Process Control) control chart and reliability engineering.

In this paper, we propose Bayes estimators of the finite population mean based on heavy-tailed prior distributions using scale mixtures of normals. Also, the asymptotic optimality property of the proposed Bayes estimators is proved. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the results.

The linear absolute shrinkage and selection operator(Lasso) method improves the low prediction accuracy and poor interpretation of the ordinary least squares(OLS) estimate through the use of $L_1$ regularization on the regression coefficients. However, the Lasso is not robust to outliers, because the Lasso method minimizes the sum of squared residual errors. Even though the least absolute deviation(LAD) estimator is an alternative to the OLS estimate, it is sensitive to leverage points. We propose a robust Lasso estimator that is not sensitive to outliers, heavy-tailed errors or leverage points.

This article addresses aspects of combining information, with special attention to meta-analysis. In specific, we consider hierarchical Bayesian models for meta-analysis under priors which are scale mixtures of normal, and thus have tail heavier than that of the normal. Numerical methods of finding Bayes estimators under these heavy tailed prior are given, and are illustrated with an actual example.

본 논문에서는 TTT 타점법을 이용하여 웹 서버가 서비스하는 파일의 크기에 대한 통계적 분포는 꼬리부분이 두꺼운 분포라는 것을 판단하는 방법을 제시한다. TTT 타점법은 신뢰성 공학에서 사용되는 방법으로써 TTT 통계량 타점결과의 직선성으로 지수분포 여부를 판단하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법을 모의실험과 실제 운영중인 웹서버의 자료를 사용하여 실험한 결과, 기존의 방법인 Hill 추정법과 LLCD 타점법에 비하여 후미성을 정확하게 판단하고 있으며, 판단의 효율성 면에서도 그들보다 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 제안하는 방법은 기존의 방법이 웹서버의 파일 분포판정이나 통계학에서의 파레토 분포 판정시 나타날 수 있는 판정의 오류 가능성을 개선할 수 있다는 점도 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 ${\alpha}$-stable 확률분포를 갖는 잡음에 열화된 이미지의 화질을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 진폭제한 평균필터(amplitude-limited sample average filter)는 heavy-tailed 가우시안 잡음환경 하에서 maximum likelihood estimator (MLE)임을 증명한다. 그리고, 이 알고리즘에 해당하는 error norm은 Huber의 minimax norm과 일치하고, 위에서 언급한 잡음 환경 하에서 efficacy를 최대화한다는 점에서 최적의 필터임을 보인다. 이 개념을 미리어드(myriad) 필터와 결합하여 진폭제한 미리어드 필터(amplitude-limited myriad filter)를 제안하고 실험을 통하여 이의 성능을 확인한다.
