New results for tails of probability distributions according to their asymptotic decay
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides new properties for tails of probability distributions belonging to a class defined according to the asymptotic decay of the tails. This class contains the one of regularly varying tails of distributions. The main results concern the relation between this larger class and the maximum domains of attraction of Fréchet and Gumbel.

Asymptotic Distributions of Estimators of Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions in Functional Data
Functional data analysis is a relatively new and rapidly growing area of statistics. This is partly due to technological advancements which have made it possible to generate new types of data that are in the form of curves. Because the data are functions, they lie in function spaces, which are of infinite dimension. To analyse functional data, one way, which is widely used, is to employ princip...
متن کاملHeavy-traffic Asymptotic Expansions for the Asymptotic Decay Rates in the Bmap/g/1 Queue
In great generality, the basic steady-state distributions in the BMAP / G /1 queue have asymptotically exponential tails. Here we develop asymptotic expansions for the asymptotic decay rates of these tail probabilities in powers of one minus the traffic intensity. The first term coincides with the decay rate of the exponential distribution arising in the standard heavy-traffic limit. The coeffi...

We use the properties of the Matuszewska indices to show asymptotic inequalities for hazard rates. We discuss the relation between membership in the classes of dominatedly or extended rapidly varying tail distributions and corresponding hazard rate conditions. Convolution closure is established for the class of distributions with extended rapidly varying tails.

Under the assumption that individuals know the conditional distributions of signals given the payoff-relevant parameters, existing results conclude that, as individuals observe infinitely many signals, their beliefs about the parameters will eventually merge. We first show that these results are fragile when individuals are uncertain about the signal distributions: given any such model, a vanis...
متن کاملA heavy-traffic expansion for asymptotic decay rates of tail probabilities in multichannel queues
We establish a heavy-traffic asymptotic expansion (in powers of one minus the traffic intensity) for the asymptotic decay rates of queue-length and workload tail probabilities in stable infinite-capacity multi-channel queues. The specific model has multiple independent heterogeneous servers, each with i.i.d. service times, that are independent of the arrival process, which is the superposition ...
