Archimedean copula estimation using Bayesian splines smoothing techniques
Copulas enable to specifymultivariate distributions with givenmarginals.Various parametric proposals weremade in the literature for these quantities, mainly in the bivariate case. They can be systematically derived from multivariate distributions with known marginals, yielding e.g. the normal and the Student copulas. Alternatively, one can restrict his/her interest to a sub-family of copulas na...
متن کاملBayesian Analysis of Multivariate Smoothing Splines
A general version of multivariate smoothing splines with correlated errors and correlated curves is proposed. A suitable symmetric smoothing parameter matrix is introduced, and practical priors are developed for the unknown covariance matrix of the errors and the smoothing parameter matrix. An efficient algorithm for computing the multivariate smoothing spline is derived, which leads to an effi...
متن کاملUsing Quantile Smoothing Splines to
The goal of this paper is to provide a statistically based deenition of employment subcenters for multicentric urban areas. In particular, we examine the shape of the employment density function using quantile smoothing splines as a nonparametric empirical speciication. This approach allows inspection of the employment gradient at the upper tail rather than the center of the employment density ...
متن کاملInference-less Density Estimation using Copula Bayesian Networks
We consider learning continuous probabilistic graphical models in the face of missing data. For non-Gaussian models, learning the parameters and structure of such models depends on our ability to perform efficient inference, and can be prohibitive even for relatively modest domains. Recently, we introduced the Copula Bayesian Network (CBN) density model a flexible framework that captures comple...
متن کاملFlexible Copula Density Estimation with Penalized Hierarchical B-Splines
The paper introduces a new method for flexible spline fitting for copula density estimation. Spline coefficients are penalized to achieve a smooth fit. To weaken the curse of dimensionality, instead of a full tensor spline basis, a reduced tensor product based on sparse grids Zenger (1991) is used. To achieve uniform margins of the copula density, linear constraints are placed on the spline coe...
