Maximum likelihood estimation of the flow size distribution tail index from sampled packet data
In the context of network traffic analysis, we address the problem of estimating the tail index of flow (or more generally of any group) size distribution from the observation of...

Robust Regression with Asymmetric Heavy-Tail Noise Distributions
In the presence of a heavy-tail noise distribution, regression becomes much more di cult. Traditional robust regression methods assume that the noise distribution is symmetric and...

Robust measures of tail weight
The kurtosis coefficient is often regarded as a measure of the tail heaviness of a distribution relative to that of the normal distribution. However, it also measures the peakedne...

Source extraction by maximizing the variance in the conditional distribution tails
This paper presents a method for signal extraction based on conditional second-order moments of the output of the extraction filter. The estimator of the filter is derived from an ...
