	Kurtosis
		It has fatter tails, which might lead us to believe that it has a higher standard deviation.
		If the effect of the peakedness exactly offsets that of the fat tails, the two PDFs will have the same standard deviation.
		Leptokurtosis is associated with PDFs that are simultaneously “peaked” and have “fat tails.” Platykurtosis is associated with PDFs that are simultaneously less peaked and have thinner tails.

	Fat Tail Option Calculator
		The Fat Tail Option Calculator is available as a stand-alone application or as an Add-in to MS Excel.
		Fat tails can be modeled with so called Stable Distributions, also called Levy distributions and Levy-Pareto distributions.
		This is usually close to zero, and is calculated by the Fat Tail Option Calculator based on the arbitrage model used to value the options.

		Fat tails are generally a very good sign of health, but babies don't notrmally have very fat tails since all the fat they take in is used for growing.
		The tail should still have some bulge to it, any leo with a tail the same width all the way down should not be bought.
		Tail dropping should not kill a gecko (assuming it doesn't get infected), but it will weaken the gecko and take away most of its fat reserves.

	Leopard (& Fat Tail) Geckos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The baby fat tails look very similar but if you look at their tails, the fat tail's is slightly larger/rounder.
		Fat tails are from Africa; hence many are called African Fat Tail Geckos, while Leopard Geckos are primarily from the Pakistani area.
		Leopard and fat tails are fairly small compared to most reptiles, maxing out at about 8" or so, with fat tails being slightly smaller.

	African Fat Tail Gecko Care Sheet
		Tail: The original tail of a Fat-tail gecko is long, thick and banded.
		A gecko tail must be treated carefully, as they can be released at will to throw off a predetor or dropped due to some other trama.
		A gecko who is missing a tail must be kept warm and well fed, as it will have nowhere to store its fat until another is regrown.

	Awassi fat tails - a chance for premium exports : Journal of Agriculture, Western Australia 35(3): 99-105 , 1994 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The program to import Awassi fat tail sheep was one of a number of Department of Agriculture initiatives in the early 1980s to improve opportunities for diversification in agriculture and enhance the potential for exports.
		The typical Awassi is a large framed, fat tail sheep with a brown or, less commonly, fl head and neck.
		Fat distribution is different as the Awassi cross lamb carries a much higher proportion of total body fat on the rump and in the tail.

	Behavioral finance glossary: Fat tails, peter greenfinch
		Fat tails are anomalies in Gaussian distributions, where extreme occurences are more frequent that the theory predicts.
		But if, because of some biological accident, there are more people than the normal law predict in those extreme categories, this will show in the shape of fat tail(s) at one end or at both ends the curve.
		However invisible fat tails are in those too short statistics, that risk of extreme prices, returns or volatilities is often higher than a normal distribution law would...entail.

		The fat-tail's coloration is dark brown and tan banding that extends all the way to the middle of the tail and then the banding is dark brown and white.
		African fat tails can be kept and cared for just the same as a leopard gecko.
		Fat tails require higher relative air humidity than leopard geckos and the bark plus misting the cage 2-3 times a week will help.

	Journal of the Academy of Business and Economics: Fat—tails and VaR estimation using power EWMA models
		An important feature of the normal distribution is that the tail decay as the square of an exponential and thus faster than an exponential toward zero, implying that the large positive or negative returns are rare event.
		The tail index is a measure of the degree of tail fatness of underlying distributions and is estimated using the extreme value theory (EVT), which addresses tail distribution behavior characteristics.
		The larger the average, the smaller the tail index and the greater the magnitude of the fat-tailedness.

		Fat tails, like leopard geckos, are temperature sex dependent.
		Crowding young fat tails can cause them to produce more melanin, making them darker, and smaller individuals may fail to thrive because of competition for food among their larger siblings.
		Other than those provisions, baby fat tails can be housed with the same environmental conditions as used for the adults.

	A General Approach to Integrated Risk Management with Skewed, Fat-Tailed Risk - Federal Reserve Bank of New York
		In this paper, we use the method of copulas to construct the joint risk distribution for a typical large, internationally active bank.
		A complex relationship between volatility and fat tails exists in determining the total risk: whether they offset or reinforce each other will depend on the setting.
		We then compare the copula-based method with several conventional approaches to computing risk, each of which may be thought of as an approximation.

		Its tail is an effective fat-storing organ and does get very heavy, but it is probable that the common name actually refers instead to the regenerated tails of some specimens.
		The tails of fat-tailed geckos autotomize, or break off, quite easily, and although the broken portion of the tail regenerates quickly, it is often bulbous, rounded and truly fat.
		When the gecko is active, its tail is often curled upwards, and may be wriggled or writhed from side to side.

		In addition, the impact on the existence of posterior moments in a regression model with unknown scale under commonly used improper priors is quite limited.
