Heavy tailed distributions enjoy increased popularity and become more readily applicable as the arsenal of analytical and numerical tools grows. They play key roles in modeling approaches in networking, finance, hydrology to name but a few. The tail parameter is of central importance as it governs both the existence of moments of positive order and ...

In this chapter, we overview a number of applications of time-frequency representations in seismic data processing, from the analysis of seismic sequences to efficient attribute extraction to 3-D attributes for volumetric data.
