Non-Gaussian distributions under scrutiny
arXiv:0712.3153 · doi:10.1088/1742-5468/2007/08/N08001
Abstract
Comment of the very interesting paper by Hilhorst & Schehr, J. Stat. Mech. P06003 (2007). The main point is that one should be extremely careful when interpreting non-Gaussian data in terms of q-Gaussians.
