Book Title: Heavy-Tail Phenomena: Probabilistic and Statistical Modeling

Author: Sidney I. Resnick

Selection Statement:

Among the several books that led me to the area of heavy tail analysis, I find this one especially enjoyable to read. The materials are presented with rigorous math and also the author’s unique style of humor. I still use the book today as a research reference and a casual read.
