This paper investigates pooling strategies for tail index and extreme quantile estimation from heavy-tailed data. To fully exploit the information contained in several samples, we present general weighted pooled Hill estimators of the tail…
Applying a modification of Extreme value Theory (thanks to a dual distribution technique by the authors on data over the past 2,500 years, we show that pandemics are extremely fat-tailed in terms of fatalities, with a marked potentially…

General upper tail estimates are given for counting edges in a random induced subhypergraph of a fixed hypergraph H, with an easy proof by estimating the moments. As an application we consider the numbers of arithmetic progressions and…
For a stochastic difference equation $D_n=A_nD_{n-1}+B_n$ which stabilises upon time we study tail distribution asymptotics of $D_n$ under the assumption that the distribution of $\log(1+|A_1|+|B_1|)$ is heavy-tailed, that is, all its…
Let $A^-$ and $A^+$ be properly immersed closed locally convex subsets of a Riemannian manifold $M$ with pinched negative sectional curvature. When the Bowen-Margulis measure on $T^1M$ is finite and mixing for the geodesic flow, we prove…
We investigate the right tail behavior of a certain class of GMC ratios, reminiscent of H\"older's inequality. We start with a heuristic argument to justify the optimal exponent in the tail estimate. Since Kahane's convexity inequality does…
In 2007, \'A. Baricz put forward a conjecture concerning Tur\'an-type inequalities for Gaussian hypergeometric functions (see Conjecture \ref{ConjA} in Section \ref{Sec1}). In this paper, the authors disprove this conjecture with several…
Since the turn of the century, there has been increased interest in the application of heavy-tailed distributions, particularly stable distributions, to problems in physics and finance. Although, the tails of stable distributions provide a…
Tail Averaging improves on Polyak averaging's non-asymptotic behaviour by excluding a number of leading iterates of stochastic optimization from its calculations. In practice, with a finite number of optimization steps and a learning rate…

Orthogonal polynomials for the multivariate hypergeometric distribution are defined on lattices in polyhedral domains in $\RR^d$. Their structures are studied through a detailed analysis of classical Hahn polynomials with negative integer…
Inequalities for norms of different versions of the geometric mean of two positive definite matrices are presented.
Classical measures of inequality use the mean as the benchmark of economic dispersion. They are not sensitive to inequality at the left tail of the distribution, where it would matter most. This paper presents a new inequality measurement…
We establish upper and lower bounds with matching leading terms for tails of weighted sums of two-sided exponential random variables. This extends Janson's recent results for one-sided exponentials.
In this note, we present a refinement of the well-known AM-GM inequality. We use this improved inequalty to establish corresponding inequalities on Hilbert space. We also give some refinements of the Kantorovich inequality.
Solutions to linear controlled differential equations can be expressed in terms of iterated path integrals of the driving path. This collection of iterated integrals encodes essentially all information about the driving path. While upper…
Non-Hermitean operators may appear during the calculation of a partition function in various models of statistical mechanics. The tail eigen-states, having anomalously small real part of energy $Re(\eps)$, became naturally important in this…
We derive in this short report the exponential as well as power decreasing tail estimations for the sums of centered exchangeable random variables, alike ones for the sums of the centered independent ones.
