This paper studies the approximation of extreme quantiles of random sums of heavy-tailed random variables, or, more specifically, subexponential random variables. A key application of this ...
A random variable that can take only a certain specified set of individual possible values-for example, the positive integers 1, 2, 3, . . . For example, stock prices are discrete random variables, ...
