Domains of Attraction for Positive and Discrete Tempered Stable Distributions

We introduce a large and flexible class of discrete tempered stable distributions, and analyze the domains of attraction for both this class and the related class of positive tempered stable distributions. Our results suggest that these are natural models for sums of independent and identically distributed random variables with tempered heavy tails tails, i.e. tails that appear to be heavy up to a point, but ultimately decay faster.
