In some fields of applications of stable distributions, especially ineconomics, it appears, that data have distributions similar to stable in alarge region, but do not have such heavy tails. Our aim in this note is topropose several methods of approximation of stable distributions by somediscrete distributions, which may have different tail behavior. In a sense theintroduced distributions form an alternative to tempered stable distributionsthat combine Gaussian and stable behavior.
