      Statistical inference for heavy-tailed distributions in technical systems 

      Karagrigoriou, Alex; Vonta, Filia (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014)
      In this work we explore the class of heavy-tailed distributions and discuss their signicance in reliability engineering. At the same time we discuss measures of divergence which are extensively used in statistics in various ...
