重尾分布

In probability theory, heavy-tailed distributions are probability distributions whose tails are not exponentially bounded: that is, they have heavier tails than the exponential distribution. In many applications it is the right tail of the distribution that is of interest, but a distribution may have a heavy left tail, or both tails may be heavy.

在概率论中，重尾分布是指其尾部呈现出不受指数限制的概率分布：也就是说，它们的尾部比指数分布“重”。在许多应用中，关注的是分布的右尾，但是分布的左尾可能也很重，或者两个尾都很重。

There are three important subclasses of heavy-tailed distributions: the fat-tailed distributions, the long-tailed distributions and the subexponential distributions. In practice, all commonly used heavy-tailed distributions belong to the subexponential class.

重尾分布有三个重要的子类：肥尾分布，长尾分布和次指数分布。实际上，所有常用的重尾分布都属于次指数类分布。

There is still some discrepancy over the use of the term heavy-tailed. There are two other definitions in use. Some authors use the term to refer to those distributions which do not have all their power moments finite; and some others to those distributions that do not have a finite variance. The definition given in this article is the most general in use, and includes all distributions encompassed by the alternative definitions, as well as those distributions such as log-normal that possess all their power moments, yet which are generally considered to be heavy-tailed. (Occasionally, heavy-tailed is used for any distribution that has heavier tails than the normal distribution.)

在使用“重尾”一词时仍存在一些歧义。于是就出现了另外两种定义。一些作者使用该术语来指代那些并非所有幂矩都是有限的分布。也有其它一些人以此指代没有有限方差的分布。本文中给出的是最常用的定义，包括替代定义所涵盖的所有分布，以及具有所有幂矩的对数正态分布，但通常被认为是重尾的。（有时“重尾”用于任何具有比正态分布更重尾巴的分布。）

Definitions 定义

Definition of heavy-tailed distribution 重尾分布的定义

The distribution of a random variable X with distribution function F is said to have a heavy (right) tail if the moment generating function of X, M_X(t), is infinite for all t > 0.

The distribution of a random variable X with distribution function F is said to have a heavy (right) tail if the moment generating function of X, MX(t), is infinite for all t > 0.

如果X的矩生成函数, M_X(t)对于所有t> 0都是无限的，则具有分布函数F的随机变量X的分布被称为重尾（右）。

That means

也就是说

[math]\displaystyle{ \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{t x} \,dF(x) = \infty \quad \mbox{for all } t\gt 0. }[/math]

An implication of this is that

这意味着

[math]\displaystyle{ \lim_{x \to \infty} e^{t x}\Pr[X\gt x] = \infty \quad \mbox{for all } t\gt 0.\, }[/math]

This is also written in terms of the tail distribution function

[math]\displaystyle{ \overline{F}(x) ≡ \Pr[X\gt x] }[/math]

as

[math]\displaystyle{ \lim_{x \to \infty} e^{t x}\overline{F}(x) = \infty \quad \mbox{for all } t \gt 0.\, }[/math]

Definition of long-tailed distribution 长尾分布的定义

The distribution of a random variable X with distribution function F is said to have a long right tail if for all t > 0,

The distribution of a random variable X with distribution function F is said to have a long right tail[1] if for all t > 0,

如果对于所有t>0，具有分布函数F的随机变量X的分布具有较长的右尾，

[math]\displaystyle{ \lim_{x \to \infty} \Pr[X\gt x+t\mid X\gt x] =1, \, \lt math\gt or equivalently 或等同于 :\lt math\gt \overline{F}(x+t) \sim \overline{F}(x) \quad \mbox{as } x \to \infty. \, }[/math]

This has the intuitive interpretation for a right-tailed long-tailed distributed quantity that if the long-tailed quantity exceeds some high level, the probability approaches 1 that it will exceed any other higher level.

All long-tailed distributions are heavy-tailed, but the converse is false, and it is possible to construct heavy-tailed distributions that are not long-tailed.

Subexponential distributions 长尾分布的定义

A fat-tailed distribution is a distribution for which the probability density function, for large x, goes to zero as a power x^{-a}. Since such a power is always bounded below by the probability density function of an exponential distribution, fat-tailed distributions are always heavy-tailed. Some distributions, however, have a tail which goes to zero slower than an exponential function (meaning they are heavy-tailed), but faster than a power (meaning they are not fat-tailed). An example is the log-normal distribution . Many other heavy-tailed distributions such as the log-logistic and Pareto distribution are, however, also fat-tailed.

肥尾分布是一个分布，对于大的 x，概率密度函数变为0的 x ^ {-a }的幂。由于这样的幂总是以概率密度函数的指数分布为界，胖尾分布总是重尾分布。然而，有些分布有一条尾巴，它比指数函数分布慢到零(意味着它们是重尾分布) ，但比幂分布快(意味着它们不是厚尾分布)。对数正态分布就是一个例子。然而，许多其他的重尾分布，例如 log-logistic 分布和帕累托分布分布也是厚尾分布。

Subexponentiality is defined in terms of convolutions of probability distributions. For two independent, identically distributed random variables [math]\displaystyle{ X_1,X_2 }[/math] with common distribution function [math]\displaystyle{ F }[/math] the convolution of [math]\displaystyle{ F }[/math] with itself, [math]\displaystyle{ F^{*2} }[/math] is convolution square, using Lebesgue–Stieltjes integration, by:

[math]\displaystyle{ There are parametric (see Embrechts et al.) approaches to the problem of the tail-index estimation. 有参数(参见 Embrechts 等人。)对尾部指数估计问题的探讨。 \Pr[X_1+X_2 \leq x] = F^{*2}(x) = \int_{0}^x F(x-y)\,dF(y), }[/math]

To estimate the tail-index using the parametric approach, some authors employ GEV distribution or Pareto distribution; they may apply the maximum-likelihood estimator (MLE).

为了使用参数方法估计尾部指数，一些作者使用了 GEV 分布或帕累托分布，他们可以使用最大似然估计(MLE)。

and the n-fold convolution [math]\displaystyle{ F^{*n} }[/math] is defined inductively by the rule:

[math]\displaystyle{ F^{*n}(x) = \int_{0}^x F(x-y)\,dF^{*n-1}(y). }[/math]

Nonparametric approaches to estimate heavy- and superheavy-tailed probability density functions were given in

给出了估计重尾和超重尾概率密度函数的非参数方法

Markovich. These are approaches based on variable bandwidth and long-tailed kernel estimators; on the preliminary data transform to a new random variable at finite or infinite intervals which is more convenient for the estimation and then inverse transform of the obtained density estimate; and "piecing-together approach" which provides a certain parametric model for the tail of the density and a non-parametric model to approximate the mode of the density. Nonparametric estimators require an appropriate selection of tuning (smoothing) parameters like a bandwidth of kernel estimators and the bin width of the histogram. The well known data-driven methods of such selection are a cross-validation and its modifications, methods based on the minimization of the mean squared error (MSE) and its asymptotic and their upper bounds. A discrepancy method which uses well-known nonparametric statistics like Kolmogorov-Smirnov's, von Mises and Anderson-Darling's ones as a metric in the space of distribution functions (dfs) and quantiles of the later statistics as a known uncertainty or a discrepancy value can be found in.

男名男子名。这些方法包括: 基于变带宽和长尾核估计的方法; 在有限或无限区间内将初始数据转换为一个新的随机变量的方法，这种方法更便于对所得密度估计进行估计和反变换; 以及“拼接方法” ，这种方法为密度的尾部提供了一个确定的参数模型和一个非参数模型来逼近密度的模式。非参数估计需要适当选择调整(平滑)参数，如核估计的带宽和直方图的容器宽度。众所周知的数据驱动选择方法是交叉验证及其修正，基于最小均方差及其渐近和上界的方法。在分布函数空间(dfs)和后续统计量的分位数空间(dfs)中，利用著名的无母数统计，如 Kolmogorov-Smirnov、 von Mises 和 Anderson-Darling 的分布函数，作为已知的不确定性或不一致值，可以找到一种差异方法。

This is often known as the principle of the single big jump or catastrophe principle.

A distribution [math]\displaystyle{ F }[/math] on the whole real line is subexponential if the distribution

[math]\displaystyle{ F I([0,\infty)) }[/math] is. Here [math]\displaystyle{ I([0,\infty)) }[/math] is the indicator function of the positive half-line. Alternatively, a random variable [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] supported on the real line is subexponential if and only if [math]\displaystyle{ X^+ = \max(0,X) }[/math] is subexponential.

All subexponential distributions are long-tailed, but examples can be constructed of long-tailed distributions that are not subexponential.

Common heavy-tailed distributions

All commonly used heavy-tailed distributions are subexponential.

Those that are one-tailed include:

• the Pareto distribution;

• the Log-normal distribution;

• the Lévy distribution;

• the Weibull distribution with shape parameter greater than 0 but less than 1;
