Student’s t distributionTail probability ratioUpper boundThe ratio of normal tail probabilities and the ratio of Student's t tail probabilities have gained an increased attention in statistics and related areas. However, they are not well studied in the literature. In this paper, we systematically...

Tail Weighted Probability Distribution Parameter Estimation © Nematrian Limited, 2013In this paper we introduce four ways of estimating probability distribution parameters that target a good fit to a user selected part of the distributional form (e.g. one or both tails). We analyse the...
Hence, the Chernoff bound on the tail probability for a standard normal random variable is Q(xo)≤exp(-xo22). The result of this example provides a convenient upper bound on the Q-function. Evaluating the Chernoff bound requires knowledge of the moment-generating function of the random variabl...
it is assumed that the distribution of returns will follow a normal distribution. Under this assumption, the probability that returns will move between the mean and three standard deviations, either positive or negative, is approximately 99.7%. This means that the probability of returns moving more...
Tail risk is a form of portfolio risk that arises when the possibility that an investment will move more than three standard deviations from the mean is greater than what is shown by a normal distribution.Tail risks include events that have a small probability of occurring, and occur at both...
In addition, to evaluate mth dataset and the performance {tl of }lL=1 are equally the test statistic, we obtained the probability of error as follows. When the null hypothesis is true, the empirical probability of the Type I error is defined as E1 = #{m : Tm < eα/2 or Tm > e1...
