Sub-Gaussian distribution

In probability theory, a sub-Gaussian distribution is a probability distribution with strong tail decay. Informally, the tails of a sub-Gaussian distribution are dominated by (i.e. decay at least as fast as) the tails of a Gaussian. Formally, the probability distribution of a random variable X is called sub-Gaussian if there are positive constants C, v such that for every t > 0, The sub-Gaussian random variables with the following norm form a Birnbaum–Orlicz space: (Wikipedia).
