Traditional portfolio theory (such as the Markowitz mean-variance model) assumes returns follow a normal distribution, thereby underestimating the impact of tail events; whereas Taleb in "The Black Swan" emphasizes that real-world distributions often have fat-tail characteristics, with extreme events occurring far more frequently than normal-distribution predictions.

UnverifiedThe probability distribution learned by a model is naturally biased toward high-frequency events and common patterns, resulting in a systematic underestimation of long-tail events.76% similarUnverifiedWhen a model faces out-of-distribution questions, its internal probability distribution is often too flat or too sharp, causing confidence to be systematically too high.70% similarUnverified传统保险的精算模型建立在大数定律基础之上，通过观察大量同类事件的历史发生频率和损失分布推导未来风险概率，因此在前沿科技这种薄数据或零数据环境下失效70% similarUnverifiedImplied Volatility is derived by back-solving option market prices using pricing models such as Black-Scholes.68% similarUnverifiedA heavy-tailed distribution means that the tail of the probability distribution decays much more slowly than that of a normal distribution, meaning that the probability of extreme values occurring is far higher than intuition suggests.68% similar
