Abstract: Inspired by L. Peng's work on estimating the mean of heavy-tailed distribution in the case of completed data. we propose an alternative estimator and study its asymptotic normality when it comes to the right truncated random variable. A simulation study is executed to evaluate the finite sample behavior on the proposed estimator.

Keywords: random truncation, Hill estimator, Lynden-Bell estimator, heavy-tailed distributions.
