They are frequently used to accurately model inputs and outputs of computer and data networks and service facilities such as call centers. They are an essential for describing risk processes in finance and also for insurance premia pricing, and such distributions occur naturally in models of epidemiological spread. The class includes distributions with power law tails such as the Pareto, as well as the lognormal and certain Weibull distributions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the highlights of this new edition is that it includes problems at the end of each chapter. Chapter 5 is also updated to include interesting applications to queueing theory, risk, and branching processes. New results are presented in a simple, coherent and systematic way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraduate students as well as modelers in the fields of finance, insurance, network science and environmental studies will find this book to be an essential reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sergey Foss, Dmitry Korshunov, Stan Zachary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1461471001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781461471004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Sergey Foss","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44057004376319,"sku":"9781461471004","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f67d0e95-fab5-4f33-a71e-192f2ba09a53.jpg?v=1685044480","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-heavy-tailed-and-sergey-foss-9781461471004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
