Title
Applications of Heavy Tailed Distributions in Economics, Engineering
and Statistics
Date
June 3-5, 1999
Location
American University, Washington, DC
Information
Objective: Heavy tailed distributions are being used in a large
variety
of problems in economics, finance, engineering, statistics, and other
areas. It is evident that many important problems are poorly described
by standard Gaussian models. This conference will draw together
experts from a range of disciplines to describe ths methods used to
analyze such processes.
