A Truncated Cauchy Distribution
Nadarajah, Saralees; Kotz, Samuel
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science & Technology, v37 n5 p605-608 Jul 2006
A truncated version of the Cauchy distribution is introduced. Unlike the Cauchy distribution, this possesses finite moments of all orders and could therefore be a better model for certain practical situations. One such situation in finance is discussed. Explicit expressions for the moments of the truncated distribution are also derived.
