Abstract
The authors propose the truncation of the tail of theoretical PDFs used in clutter modelling. It is shown that the experimental moments deviate from their theoretical counterparts if this truncation is not incorporated into the theoretical PDFs. This is caused by the tail of experimental PDFs being finite as opposed to the theoretical ones. Spiky Weibull statistics are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique and validate our conclusion
