Dear All: Is there any formal test to check the hypothesis that a certain empirical distribution belongs to some family of "heavy tailed" distributions? Note, I would not like to explicitly specify the analytical form of the hypothesised distribution. I just want to know weather or not the tails are heavy. Does it make sense to pose such a question at all? Thanks Xao Ping R&R Pharmakinetics Taiwan
