Leptokurtic distributions (large Kurtosis) such as student's t distribution with low degress of freedom will give you a fat tail shape. If you need a normal-lile distribution, then student's t is a good candidate. Skewed distributions like Weibull and lognormal are leptokurtic with the right parameters. eric ________________________________________ From: mur...@fr...

Subject: [Repast-interest] random generator fat tail distribution Hello everybody, I am having a problem of finding a fat tail distribution. actually in an article, they say that they have used a fat tail distribution 1/((k+2)(logk+2)^2) to generate k. But i am having a difficulty in finding a random number generator who could generate something like this.
