Abstract
When the number of steps in a random walk varies, the distribution of the resultant vector components in the limit of large mean step number may be non-Gaussian. The statistics and temporal correlation properties of one class of such non-Gaussian limit distributions are derived and some of its potential applications are reviewed briefly.Keywords
