Abstract

Inspired by L.Peng’s work on estimating the mean of heavy-tailed distribution in the case of completed data. we propose an alternative estimator and study its asymptotic normality when it comes to the right truncated random variable. A simulation study is executed to evaluate the finite sample behavior on the proposed estimator
