Methods for analyzing probability distributions will be studied with a focus on heavy-tailed data. A new type of mean function will be investigated that can be applied to a wide range of distributions and will allow the identification of special cases such as the Pareto distribution. In contrast to the classical mean excess plot, this approach will make it possible to consider situations where the mean does not exist or where higher moments are infinite. The usefulness of the method will be illustrated through applications to real datasets.
