چکیده
These days it is commonly accepted in the financial world that the tails of an asset return distribution are much heavier than those of the Gaussian distribution. Furthermore the choice of distribution is crucial for suchpurposes as value-at-risk and option pricing. Unfortunately, opinion on the tail weight question is divided. One school of thought believes that they are most appropriately modelled by exponential distributions and another believes that power tailed distributions are needed. In the latter group, some believe that variances are finite and others believe that stable distributions should be used.

Benford Distribution and its Applications
This papers considers the Benford distribution as one the interesting rules of probability theory. This rule shows that, despite of usual underestanding about the uniform distribution of digites for lieing on different positions in numbers, digits are distributed according to an non uniform distributions for numbers araising from many natural phonemena. Benford distribution proposes ...
متن کاملDirect Mapping of Massive Compact Objects in Extragalactic Dark Halos
A significant fraction of non-baryonic or baryonic dark matter in galactic halos may consist of MASsive Compact Objects (MASCOs) with mass M = 10M⊙. Possible candidates for such compact objects include primordial black holes or remnants of primordial (Population III) stars. We propose a method for directly detecting MASCOs in extragalactic halos, using the VLBI techniques with extremely high re...
متن کاملThe Effect of Bayesian Reasoning Training on the Results of Clinical Reasoning Tests of Interns
Introduction: Clinical reasoning includes a range of thinking about clinical medicine at all stages of patient evaluation. Bayesian theory can be used to refute or confirm differential diagnoses in the clinical reasoning process. In this way, by learning the basic mathematical language of probability in medicine, we can change our beliefs according to new evidence. The aim of this study is to i...
متن کاملBeta-Linear Failure Rate Distribution and its Applications
We introduce in this paper a new four-parameter generalized version of the linear failure rate distribution which is called Beta-linear failure rate distribution. The new distribution is quite flexible and can be used effectively in modeling survival data and reliability problems. It can have a constant, decreasing, increasing and bathtub-shaped failure rate function depending on its parameter...
متن کاملA Perturbed Half-normal Distribution and Its Applications
In this paper, a new generalization of the half-normal distribution which is called the perturbed half-normal distribution is introduced. The new distribution belongs to a family of distributions which includes the half-normal distribution along with an extra parameter to regulate skewness. The probability density function (pdf) is derived and some various properties of the new distribution are...
