Abstract
Tail estimates are developed for power law probability distributions with exponential tempering, using a conditional maximum likelihood approach based on the upper-order statistics. Tempered power law distributions are intermediate between heavy power-law tails and Laplace or exponential tails, and are sometimes called “semi-heavy” tailed distributions. The estimation method is demonstrated on simulated data from a tempered stable distribution, and for several data sets from geophysics and finance that show a power law probability tail with some tempering.
