Mathematically bad behavioral distributions

46 Views Asked by At

I'm studying asymptotic theory and have found that most of the distributions shown in textbooks have "good" properties like differentiability and integrability. Edgeworth expansion, for example, apparently gives a good approximation for a density function, but the theory needs strong assumptions.

In some areas, "bad" behavioral distributions play a great role. Cauchy distribution is used in mathematical science since it has a fat tail.

I would like to know important distributions with troublesome properties and how researchers are approaching them.

Thank you in advance!
