TAIL DEFINITION POLICY This is a defined method for dividing a DISCRETE DISTRIBUTION into a TAIL area and a body area. The scope for differing policies arises due to the non-infinitesmal amount of probability measure which may be associated with the ACTUAL OUTOME value. The conventional policy, based upon considerations of simplicity and of conservatism in terms of ALPHA, is to include the whole of the weight of outcomes equal to the ACTUAL OUTCOME as part of the TAIL. Also see MID-P, SACROWICZ & COHEN.
