Large deviation estimates involving deformed exponential functions
arXiv:1404.3410
Abstract
We study large deviation properties of probability distributions with either a compact support or a fat tail by comparing them with q-deformed exponential distributions. Our main result is a large deviation property for probability distributions with a fat tail.
